Long John Blues

Long John Blues - Dinah Washington/Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry

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

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

He said Baby that will cost you ten

Six months from now

Come back and see me again

Say you're supposed to see your dentist

'Bout twice a year that's right

But I think I feel it bobbin'

Yes I'll go back there tonight

Long John Long John

Don't ever move away

Say I hope I keep on achin'

So I can see you every day
