lyrics

I went to the dentist,
and I met a scaredy man
and he asked me to pray to jesus
and to hold him by the hand.

well I told him not to fret
and I told him not to frown
but at the end of the day
I wouldn’t be kneeling down
cause …

Jesus won’t save you from cavities
the good lord won’t cure your gum disease
so take my advice, find a toothbrush that you like
and get down on your knees and floss.

Well he sat me in the chair
and I was gently reclined
offered a puff of happy gas
which I happily declined

well I told him not to fret
and I told him not to cry
but at the end of the day
I wouldn’t be getting high (with you)
cause …

Jesus won’t save you from cavities
the good lord won’t cure your gum disease
so take my advice, find a toothbrush that you like
and get down on your knees and floss.
get down on your knees and floss.

Hail Mary,
mother of sin
won’t you help
to keep my choppers in?

Hail Mary,
mother of grief
give me the strength
to floss before I leave for work

Jesus won’t save you from cavities
the good lord won’t cure your gum disease
so take my advice, find a toothbrush that you like
and get down on your knees and floss.
get down on your knees and floss.
