Be a Dentist (Little Shop of Horrors) - Original UK Cast

When I was young and just a bad little kid

My momma noticed funny things I did

Like shooting puppies with a BB gun

I poisoned Guppies and when I was done

I'd find a pussy cat and bash in it's head

That's when my momma said

What did she say?

She said my boy, I think someday

You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay

You'll be a dentist (you'll be a dentist)

You have a talent for causing things pain (pain)

Son, be a dentist (son, be a dentist)

People will pay you to be inhumane (inhumane)

Your temperament's wrong for priesthood

And teaching would suit you still less

Son, be a dentist

You'll be a success

Here he is girls, the leader of the plaque

Watch him suck up that gas, oh my God

He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good

Who wants their teeth done by the Marquee de Sade

Oh that hurts, I'm not numb

Ah shut up, open wide, here I come

I am your dentist (goodness gracious)

And I enjoy the career that I picked (you love it)

I am your dentist (just embrace it)

And I get off on the pain I inflict (you really love it)

I thrill when I drill a bicuspid (don't try it)

It swell, they tell me I'm mad, I'm just a (dentist)

And though it may cause my patients distress (distress)

I know that somewhere, somewhere in heaven above me

I know, I know my momma's proud of me

'Cause I'm a dentist

And a success

Say ahh (ahh)

Say ahh (ahh)

Say ahh (ahh)

Now spit!
