Lyrics

I've got a dentist
Who's over seven feet tall
Yes, I've got a dentist
Who's over seven feet tall
Long John they call him
And he answers every call
Well, I went to Long John's office
And told him the pain was killin'
Yes, I went to Long John's office
And told him the pain was killin'
He told me not to worry
That my cavity just needed fillin'
He said, "When I start drillin'
I'll have to give you Novocaine"
Yes, when I start drillin'
I'll have to give you Novocaine
Cause every woman just can't stand the pain
He took out his trusted drill
And he told me to open wide
He said he wouldn't hurt me
But he'd fill my hole inside
Long John, Long John, you've got that golden touch
You thrill me when you drill me
And I need you very much
When he got through, he said: "Baby
That will cost you ten"
Yes when he got through, he said
"That will cost you ten"
Six months from now
Come back and see me again
Say you're supposed to see your dentist
'Bout twice a year, that's right
But I think I feel it throbbin
Yes, I'll go back there tonight
Long John, Long John, don't ever move away
Say, I hope I keep on achin'
So I can see you every day
