Dentist Lyrics


[ORIN]
When I was younger, just a bad little kid
My mama noticed funny things I did
Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun
I'd poison guppies and when I was done
I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head
That's when my mama said

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
What did she say?

[ORIN]
She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay

You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Here he is, folks the leader of the plaque!
Watch him suck up that gas!
Oh, my god!
He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good
Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade?
Oh that hurts!
I'm not numb!

[ORIN]
Oh, shut up. Open wide. here I come!
I am your dentist

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Goodness gracious!

[ORIN]
And I enjoy the career that I picked
I am your dentist

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Fitting braces

[ORIN]
And I get off on the pain I inflict
When I start extracting those molars
You girls will be screaming like holy rollers

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Dentist!

[ORIN]
And though it may cause my patients distress
Somewhere in heaven above me, I know that my mama's proud of me
'Cause I'm a dentist- and a success
Say ah! Now spit.
