[English]

right no school today I've got the

dentist oh great what what do you mean

hang on I mean I'm a dentist I can't

remember booking you in unless the

prospect was so awful I screened you out

I booked you into another dentist you

did what Jamie's had an appointment with

you for six months now and you keep

fobbing her up I do not keep fobbing her

off I've been fobbing her forward fine

but didn't we wait that long she'll be

able to take her teeth out and post them

to you

this isn't paying patients come first

that's right your family always comes

second against TV goal from football

that's not bad going

where did you find this dentist on a

card in a phone box Yellow Pages oh

Yellow Pages oh I see well they don't

take anyone in Yellow Pages oh calm down

Dad one dentist is pretty much the same

as another famous

no you're right because some dentists

aren't rude grumpy and thinking

effective painkiller is shouting shut up

it makes me feel better

another dentist

have you ever heard anything so disloyal

smell you know Mel Fraser my dentist

dial a dentist

fillings in a jiffy and a free travel

clock on your third visit

it's cool he's got an earring oh is he

always got an earring oh great well

that's marvelous qualifications

it's the equivalent of an Obe from

Australia oh really always an Australian

oh that completely revises my opinion of

him how could I be so blinkered you're

just jealous jealous why why should I be

jealous because UC Dentistry is a dark

and horrible Wasteland whereas Mel he

sees Dentistry as a calling filled with

life joy and hope well he's obviously

doing it wrong

[Music]

Let It Go I I can't

what exactly is it that's bothering you

it's my little girl oh so now she's your

little girl wasn't it yesterday she was

had crushes before this is a dentist

knows where it could lead oh Ben she's

brushing so hard she could damage her

epithelial cuff

well if you feel so strongly about it

father to daughter and explain how you

feel

morning yeah usually worse

get the less sleep you need

supposed to do with all that extra time

above all I'm a dentist

a family dentist

that's what I do

that's what I am

and if my family can't respect me as a

husband or a father then surely they can

respect me as a family dentist otherwise

I think I've had enough

[Music]
