Shining implements of torture Laid out neatly on the tray Into the chair I am beckoned Where I then settle and lay A needle so sharp โ€“ doesn't hurt at all And the numbness descends like a protective wall Then pliers are grasped and scalpels are gripped And the offending object from my jaw ripped Sutures and blood and spit and gore A couple of days when my mouth is sore Are better than toothache Which at your soul gnaws We'll put in some new ones The dentist he says As long as you have The means for to pay It won't be expensive He jokingly said It 'll only cost you An arm and a leg The dentists coffers I needed to fill But the insurance was worth it 'Cos they pay the bill ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

A visit to the Dentist
Shining implements of torture Laid out neatly on the tray Into the chair I am beckoned Where I then settle and lay A needle so sharp โ€“ doesn't hurt at all And the numbness descends like a protective wall Then pliers are grasped and scalpels are gripped And the offending object from my jaw ripped Sutures and blood and spit and gore A couple of days when my mouth is sore Are better than toothache Which at your soul gnaws We'll put in some new ones The dentist he says As long as you have The means for to pay It won't be expensive He jokingly said It 'll only cost you An arm and a leg The dentists coffers I needed to fill But the insurance was worth it 'Cos they pay the bill ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
