The West Wing - Alan Menken & Lily Collins

I am floating away Lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue And I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling, we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere Are you there? Are you there?

When I was younger, just a bad little kid My momma noticed funny things I did Like shootin' puppies with a B B gun I'd poison guppies, and when I was done I'd find a pussy cat and bash its 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 (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 Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood And teaching would suit you still less Son, be a dentist you'll be a success Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque! Watch him suck up that gas, oh my God He is a dentist and he'll never ever be any good Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis De Sade? Oh, that hurts, wait, I'm not numb Ehh, shut up, open wide, here I come I am your dentist (Goodness Gracious) And I enjoy the career that I picked (Love it) I am your dentist (Fitting braces) And I get off on the pain I inflict (You really love it) When I start extracting those molars (Ooh, don't try it) You girls will be screaming like holy rollers (Dentist) And though it may cause my patients distress (Distress) Somewhere in heaven above me I know that my momma's proud of me 'Cause I'm a dentist and a success Say aah (Ahh) Say aah (Ahh) Say ahh (Ahh) Now spit
