A Little Dental Music

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
