  			G          D  
I brush my teeth  
A  
And look in the mirror  
G             D  
And laugh out loud  
A  
As I'm beaming from ear to ear  

G 		D  
I'd rather pick flowers  
            A  
Instead of fights  
                 G  
And rather than flaunt my style  
D  
I'd flash you a smile  
A  
Of clean pearly whites  

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

G      D  
Have a seat  
                A  
He says pleasantly  
G               D  
As he shakes my hand  
                A  
And practically laughs at me  

                 G      D  
Open up nice and wide  
                 A  
He says, peering in  

And with a smirk he says,  
G                          D  
"Don't have a fit, this'll just pinch a bit"  
A  
As he tries not to grin  

G       D       G        D       A  
When hygienists leave on long vacations  
G           D        G          D          A  
That's when dentists scream and lose their patience (patients)  

A                  G                 D  
Talking only brings the toothaches on  
                  G          D  
Because I say the stupidest things  
A                     G  
So if my resolve goes south  
                D              A  
I'll swallow my pride with an aspirin  
    G       A  
And shut my mouth  

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

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