Long John Blues Lyrics - Bette Midler

"Doctor Long John, my dreams are full of Doctor Long John" 

I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall 

I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall 

His name is Doctor Long John and he answers every call 

You know, I went to Long John's office, I said 

"Doctor, the pain is killing me" 

I went to Long John's office, I said 

"Doctor, the pain is killing" 

He said, "Don't worry, baby 

It's just your cavity needs a little filling" 

He took out his trusty drill, told me to open wide 

He said he wouldn't hurt me 

But he filled my whole inside 

Long John, Long John, don't you ever go away, no 

'Cause you thrill me when you drill me 

And I don't need no Novocain today, oh 

When he got done drillin' he said 

"Now, Miss Middler, that is going to cost you ten" 

"I was prepared to pay twenty" 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, when he got done drillin', he said 

"Baby, that's gonna cost you ten 

But if it ever starts into throbbing 

Come back and see old Long John 

Again and again and again and again and again 

Oh, yeah, oh"
