A little dental music,
Strings a-strumming,
Flutes a-trilling.
Numbing minds and calming nerves,
While steps away, the beast is drilling.
Muzak in the lobby
Helps the patients to ignore
The fact that writhing agony
Waits right behind the door.
Kostelanetz, Hank Mancini,
Gordon Jenkins, Ferrante and Teicher.
Lo, the Mormon Tabernacle sings!
The sounds of pain are muted
By a thousand Living Strings.
A little dental music,
Your appointment's for eleven.
But you'll wait in here till noon
To soothing strains of Andre Previn.
Next it's Mantovani,
After him you couldn't care.
You're in for brutal torture
When it's your turn.
When it's your turn
Next
It's your turn, in the chair
