Zoomer had dental work done today.
On the bright side, it resulted in this collaboration with Jim Kalafus.
(introduction by Ophelia Botham)
Scrape scrape here, drill drill there
And a roll of dental floz
That certain air of dental care
In the merry old land of Oz
Chip chip here, scratch scratch there
sends a shooting pain through my jaws.
That's how we hack the plaque away
In the merry old land of Oz.
Cut cut here, yank yank there,
with forceps and pliers and saws.
That how we take decay away
in the merry old land of Oz.
We get your jaw all dulled with Novocain.
take two hours to drill
and by then you're in pain ...
So we numb you again.
Drill down deep 'til the blood does seep
Into a wad of gauze
And dribble spittle on your bib
In the merry old land of Oz
We will drill and drill and drill until you howl
Then we'll tell you that
you need a root canal
(Give him a towel!)
Crown crown here. Implant there.
Ten thousand bucks in your maw.
That's how we drain your pay away
in the merry old land of Oz.
