( Funny dental hygiene song lyrics )
ONLY FLOSS THE TEETH
( THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP )
Copyright © 2011 - MickTerry.com

On   YouTube,  performed  LIVE  by  MICK TERRY   (soon!)

My dentist is okay. Yeah, in fact he's pretty great.
He's gentle and kind and I really don't mind
he's the guy people love to hate.
His hygienist's name is Jeanne. It's her job to get teeth clean.
Her eyes are pale blue and her skin's a honeyed hue.
And I love when she's right in my face.

    And she says,
   "ONLY FLOSS THE TEETH
    THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP.
    Only exercise the leg you want to walk.
    ONLY FLOSS THE TEETH
    THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP.
    Only use the lip that you want to talk ... with."

Behind that light blue mask, pouting lips that each time ask
the last time I've flossed as she measures gum-line loss
and she sternly will take me to task.
Also hidden is her nose as her body's pressing close.
I keep staring in her eyes. I don't mind I'm hypnotized.
And the time with her's gone way too fast.

    CHORUS

        I know I should floss. I know I should floss,
        and still I put off the pain.
        I know what it costs, so I finally floss
        the night before my appointment again.
        I know I should floss, sometimes they're looking like moss.
        but I'll do anything to see her some more.
        I know I should floss, but any flossing's all lost
        eating seven Oreos outside her door.

    CHORUS
