   F        C
I brush my teeth
                 G
And look in the mirror
     F         C
And laugh out loud
                    G
As I'm beaming from ear to ear
                   F    C
I'd rather pick flowers
            G
Instead of fights
                 F
And rather than flaunt my style
      C
I'd flash you a smile
Am                G
Of clean pearly whites

Chorus:
Am
I've been to the dentist
A thousand times, so I know the drill
    F                  D/F#
I smooth my hair, sit back in the chair
     C          F             G
But somehow I still get the chills

"Have a seat" he says pleasantly
As he shakes my hand, and practically laughs at me
"Open up nice and wide" he says peering in
And with a smirk he says
"Don't have a fit, this'll just pinch a bit"
As he tries not to grin

F     C          F        C      G
When hygienists leave on long vacations
F            C          F        C          G
That's when dentists scream and lose their patience

Talking only brings the toothaches on
Because I say the stupidest things
So if my resolve goes South
I'll swallow my pride with an aspirin,
and shut my mouth

Golf and alcohol don't mix
And that's why I don't drink and drive
Because, good grief I'd knock out my teeth
And have to kiss my smile goodbye

Chorus
