[Oldrottenhead]

[Jean Pierre]

the lyrics of the song ( the lyrics are by BORIS VIAN  Writer French, poet, lyric writer, singer, critic(criticism) and musician of jazz (trumpeter). Engineer of the École Centrale(French engineering school) , he is also a scriptwriter, translator (Anglo-American), a speaker, an actor and a painter    ...a genius !

I try to translate in english but difficult because its an humoristic song with plays on words and expression in French

Ce matin-là en me levant
J'avais bien mal aux dents
Oh oh la la
J'sors de chez moi
Et j'fonce en pleurant
Chez un nommé Durand, Mm, Mm 
Qu'est dentiste de son état
Et qui pourra m'arranger ça
     
La salle d'attente est bourrée de gens
Et pendant que j'attends oh oh la la
Sur un brancard
Passe un mec tout blanc
Porté par deux mastards Mm Mm 
Je m'lève déjà  pour fout'le camp
Mais l'infirmier dit : "Au suivant !"

  Je suis debout devant le dentiste
 Je lui fais un sourire de crétin
  I m'pouss'dans l'fauteuil et me crie : "En piste."
  Il a des tenailles à la main
Oh oh oh oh Maman
J'ai les guiboll's en fromag' blanc-anc
  Avant même que j'ai pu faire ouf
 Il m'fait déjà sauter trois de E7 nts

En moins d'un'plombe mes pauvres molaires
Sont r'tournées dans leur tombe
Oh oh la la
Voilà qui m'plombe
Mes deux plus bell's dents
Cell's que j'ai par devant Mm Mm
I'm'grill'la gueul'au chalumeau
Et il me file un grand verre d'eau

Il me dit faut régler votre dette
Je venais d'être payé la veille
Ce salaud me fauche tout mon oseille
Et me refile cinquante ball'net
Oh oh oh oh Maman
Et il ajoute en rigolant
J'suis pas dentist'je suis plombier
Entre voisins faut s'entr'aider

et moi je gueul'ce soir
Le blouse du dentiste dans le noir

Maintenant que z'ai plus dents, qu'est-ce que j'vais dire à ma pépée.

Early in The morning,  by raising me
I well had a toothache
Oh oh
I go out from my home
And I rush by crying
To one named  Durand, Mm, Mm
Whom is dentist of his state
And who can arrange me that


the waiting room is filled with people
And while I wait oh oh
On a stetcher
Cross a quite white guy
Carried by two  sturdy guys Mm Mm Db
I already get up  for does the camp
But the male nurse said : "  following one! "

I stand in front of the dentist
I give him one to smile of moron
He push me in the armchair and shouts me: "in track. man"
He has pincers in the hand Oh oh oh oh Mama,  I have the legs like  the cottage cheese
Even before I was able to make "Ouf"
He blows up me already three teeth


Within one hour, my poor molars returned to their grave Oh oh
 the here she/it is that he fills me My two more beautiful teeth
 Those that I have along the front of Mm Mm
 He burns out me the mouth in the blowtorch
 And he spins me a big glass of water


He tells me needs to settle your debt
 I was to be paid the day before
 This bastard mows me quite my money
And give me fifty swings clear Oh oh oh oh Mom
 And he adds by laughing  I am not a dentist I am a plumber Between neighbors needs help

[Johnny Robbo]

Brilliant! The arrangement is superb... love that jazzy guitar. And of course your vocals are outstanding. Excellent work, mate

[Geir]

Very cool JP

Love the vocals !!!


Really nice guitarwork as well

[Ted]

Possibly the first Rock and Roll song inspired by dentistry.

Loving the tasteful guitarwork.

Just for fun, I searched for a list of songs about the dentist, and I found this page:

Brush Your Teeth: 10 Greatest Dentist Songs - My Freakin Ears!


Digression: I wrote a song a long time ago about a man who dates a dentist's daughter, and develops a phobia of vagina dentata.

[Kenneth]

Absolutely brilliant! Gave me a huge smile!...

Oh, also love Ray and Henri... that was just awesome!

[Jean Pierre]

thank you Kenneth
this will interest you!... Henri Salvador plays the dental blues with a hilarious Ray Charles
