Long John Blues Lyrics
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
