Comet (song)
"Comet" was a well-known humorous children's song in North America. It describes the deleterious effects of consuming Comet cleanser—a powdered cleansing product. The most prominent and often-occurring effect in the song is that it turns one's teeth green. Among other effects alleged by this song are an unappealing taste and, unsurprisingly, a tendency to vomit.
Although this song, like many in its genre, has widely variable lyrics, a common version contains the following words:
The melody of the song is the "Colonel Bogey March".
