Jack Stafford - Mouth Breather Lyrics

Well his bad breath is deadly
And his teeth are decayed
His dentist is a worried man

All because he never used
His nose like he should
Things are going downhill from here

Cos he's a mouth breather
He doesn't sleep cos he's a mouth breather
My mama didn't raise no mouth breather
You look so poorly, cos you're mouth breather
Who know so many side effects?

Now his chin is receding
And his face is too thin
So much he's got an overbite

At school he's no attention
Cos he don't sleep so good
Now they got him on Ritalin

Cos he's a mouth breather
He doesn't sleep cos he's a mouth breather
My mama didn't raise no mouth breather
You look so poorly, cos you're mouth breather
Who know so many side effects?

After years of poor sleeping
Made worse by the drugs
He's failed academically

Now he's a labourer
Thinks he's a failure
He draws in a long breath

Then lets out a deep sigh
"It's not cos I didn't try"
If only then I had known why

Nobody saw I was a "Mouth Breather"
They could have warned me "Mouth Breather"
They should have called me a "Mouth Breather"
I would have changed

Now I've poor immunity "Mouth Breather"
Zero opportunity "Mouth Breather"
I lost my dreams "Mouth Breather"
It's too late for me

But think of the children "Mouth Breather"
Save one of them "Mouth Breather"
Shout out to everyone "Mouth Breather"
The cycle must stop
