Dentist!

by Steve Martin

Lyrics
When I was young, just a bad little kid.
My mama noticed funny things I did.
Like shootin' puppies with a B.B. gun.
I'd poison cuppies and when I was done.
I'd find a pussycat and bash its head.
That's when my mama said:
(What did she said?)
She said, my boy I think some day.
You'll find a way to make your nat-u-ral tendencies pay!
You'll be a dentist.(You'll be a dentist.)
You have a talent for causing things pain.
Son, be a dentist. (Son,be a dentist.)
People will pay you to be inhumane.(Inhumane.)
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood.
And teaching would suit you still less.
Son, be a dentist!
You'll be a success!
(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 Marquis de Sade?)
(Oh, that hurts!)
(Wait, I'm not numb!)
Aw shut up! Open wide! Here I come!
I am your dentist!(Goodness gracious!)
And i enjoy the career that i picked!(You love it!)
I am your dentist!(Fitting braces!)
And i get off on the pain i inflict.(You really love it!)
I thrill when I drill a bicuspid(Bicuspid!)
It's swell though thenTell me I'm mal-adjusted.(Dentist!)
And though it may cause my patients distress.(Distress.)
Somewhere, somewhere in heaven above me,
I know, I konw that my mama's proud of me!
Oh, mama?
Cause i'm a dentist.
And a success!
Say Ah!(Ah!)
Say Ah!(Ah!)
Say Ah!(Ah!)
Now spit!
