Be a Dentist
[ORIN]
When I was younger, just a bad little kid
My momma noticed funny things I did
Like shooting puppies with a BB gun
I'd poison guppies and when I was done
I'd find a pussy cat and bash in its head
That's when my momma said
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
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
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
You'll be a dentist
[ORIN]
You have a talent for causing things pain
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Pain
[ORIN]
Son, be a dentist
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Son, be a dentist
[ORIN]
People will pay you to be inhumane
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Inhumane
[ORIN]
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
[ORIN, CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE, spoken]
Here he is, girls, 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 Marquee de Sade?
Oh, that hurts, I'm not numb
[ORIN]
Oh shut up, open wide, here I come
I am your dentist
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Oh, goodness gracious
[ORIN]
And I enjoy the career that I picked
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
You love it
[ORIN]
I am your
[ORIN, CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Dentist
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
He embraced it
[ORIN]
And I get off on the pain I inflict
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
You really love it!
[ORIN]
I thrill when I drill a bicuspid
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Don't try it
[ORIN]
It swells and they tell me I'm mad
I'm just a
[ORIN, CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Dentist
[ORIN]
And though it may cause my patients distress
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Distress
[ORIN]
Somewhere, somewhere in Heaven above me
I know, I know my momma's proud of me
'Cause I'm a
[ORIN, CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Dentist
[ORIN]
And a success
Say ahhh
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Ahhh
[ORIN]
Say ahhh
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Ahhh
[ORIN]
Say ahhh
[CHIFFON, CRYSTAL & RONETTE]
Ahhh
[ORIN]
