Dutch boy has the palest skin with teeth so clean and white
The cavities decay within every night (every night)
But dutch boy has a dentist so it all turns out all right
And mommy counts the pennies out everynight (everynight)

But dutch boy, oh dutch boy, are you afraid of the dark?

Duth boy goes to public school while daddy is away
And mommy buys the groceries every day (every day)
And dutch boy fumbles with the girls who let him make them say
A breathy yes to naughty things every day (every day).

But dutch boy, oh dutch boy, are you afraid of the dark?

Dutch boy, just give me one of your perfect smiles
And I'll leave you alone
Dutch boy, just give me one of your smiles
One of your perfect smiles.

Dutch boy is perfection in a freckled sort of way
And all the world awaits for him, every day.

Dutch boy wants to educate the millions all to sing
In his fragile ideals that will fix everything (everything)
For dutch boy all the grass is green and all the church bells ring

But dutch boy, oh dutch boy, are you afraid of the dark?
