Dinah Washington Long John Blues (w, lyrics)

Written By Dinah Washington in 1948 LYRICS: I ve got a dentist who s over seven feet tall Yes I ve got a dentist who s over seven feet tall Long John they call him, and he answers every call Well I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin Yes I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin He told me not to worry, that my cavity just needed fillin He said when I start drillin, I ll have to give you novocaine He said, Yes, when I start drillin, I ll have to give you novocaine Cause ev ry woman just can t stand the pain He took out his trusted drill And he told me to open wide He said he wouldn t hurt me But he d fill my hole inside Long John, Long John, you ve got that golden touch You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much When he got through, he said Baby that will cost you ten Yes when he got through,
