Lyrics: Recognition for My Dental Technician
(v1)
I went to the dentist
And saw the hygienist
The dental apprentice
With serious skills
(v2)
But before she would see me
I had to agree
To my medical history
And pay all my bills
Well I guess that’s kind of important
You don’t want to, like, not pay your bills
Of course, you go in and try to get a little service done
And they might look at you a funny
The thing is that I don’t want to be on the wrong side of medical treatment
Here’s my credit card
Do as you must
(v3)
I said quite jokingly
There’s a splinter inside of me
You know, one of life’s minor ills
And could she set me free
(chorus)
She made a prick
I admit I was somewhat nervous
With a dental pick
That thing looks some kind of sharp
And pulled out the splinter
And much to my surprise
I got to tell you
Just like magic
(v4)
She claimed her first aid
Wasn’t trained but homemade
She’s a mother by trade
Learned by raising three girls
(v5)
Oh, by the way
My teeth are OK
She found no decay
In the X-ray stills
(Outro)
Her quick reaction
To my splinter condition
Was it’s still an extraction
And part of her mission
She cured my distraction
So I give recognition
And my total satisfaction
To my dental technician
