Dentist!


"Dentist!" is the villain song of the nasty dentist Orin Scrivello from the 1986 American horror dark comedy musical movie Little Shop of Horrors as he sings about his love for pain and doing his job while also getting himself high on nitrous oxide.

Lyrics

Orin Scrivello: When I was younger, just a bad little kid

My mama noticed funny things I did

Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun

I'd poison guppies and when I was done

I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head

That's when my mama said


Crystal, Ronette, Chiffon, (spoken): What did she say?


Orin Scrivello: She said, "My boy, I think someday

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

“You'll be a dentist

You have a talent for causing things pain

Son, be a dentist

People will pay you to be inhumane.”


Girls: “You'll be a dentist

Pain

Son, be a dentist

Inhumane”


Orin Scrivello: Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood

And teaching would suit you still less


All four: Son, be a dentist

You'll be a success


Ronettte: Here he is, folks the leader of the plaque!


Chiffon: Watch him suck up that gas!

Oh, my god!


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


Girls: Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade?

Oh that hurts!

I'm not numb!


Orin Scrivello: Oh, shut up. Open wide. here I come!

“I am your dentist

And I enjoy the career that I picked

I am your dentist

And I get off on the pain I inflict

When I start extracting those molars

You girls will be screaming like holy rollers”


Girls: “Dentist, goodness gracious

Love it

Dentist, fitting braces

You really love it

Don't try it

Ooh-aah”

Dentist!


Orin Scrivello: And though it may cause my patients distress

Somewhere in heaven above me, I know, I know that my mama's proud of me

'Cause I'm a dentist- and a success


(spoken)

Say ah!


[GIRLS, spoken]

Ahh!


Orin Scrivello: Say ah!


Girls: Ahh!


Orin Scrivello: Now spit!
