lyrics

When I turned 43 in 2020
So many troubles coming that I couldn’t foresee
Global pandemic and civil unrest
Plus a new type of doctor I won’t soon forget

The periodontist
The periodontist
The very oh, scary oh,
Periodontist

Day after my birthday
Dentist gave me the news
I had to say goodbye
To my right front tooth

Had an infection in my jaw
That needed to go
Over a series of procedures
That’s how I came know

The periodontist
The periodontist
The very oh, scary oh,
Periodontist

Pray you never have to know
Pray you never have to go
To the perio, perio, periodontist!

It’s hard to pretend
That you’re still young
When you need surgery
On your jaws and gums

If you live long enough to be
Middle aged
Don’t brush too hard
And try to stay away from

The periodontist
The periodontist
The very oh, scary oh,
Periodontist

Pray you never have to know
Pray you never have to go
To the perio, perio, periodontist!
