Listerine: a parody of Bush's "Glycerine"
Why are your teeth
Covered in grease?
And why does your tongue
Always smell like dung?
I used to not mind;
Your mouth's not mine
But you breathe on me
And it smells like swine
Your teeth were once white,
But now they've turned grey
You need to use floss,
And brush every day
You don't want dentures
Later in life
So use mouthwash
Please start tonight
Chorus:
Don't let your mouth go dry
Listerine…Listerine
You never brush,
But I brush all the time
I have no plaque
You've got layers of grime
You sit in the chair
At the dentist's and swear
I don't bat a lash
Cause I'm pre-prepared.
You treat your mouth bad
Your teeth are misplaced
You wonder what's wrong
I wonder how you can taste
Chorus 2:
Don't let your mouth go dry
Neglected a cavity or two
You didn't brush, though I told you to
You could've at least tried to see
Your mouth's state of calamity.
Listerine...Listerine
Don't let your mouth go dry
Listerine
Don't let your mouth go dry….
Listerine, Listerine
Oh Listerine, Listerine
Gums rot out again
Bad breath comes again
Flowers fall around thee
You needed teeth more,
But they feel out with ease
We could not kiss,
For fear of disease
It might be curable;
A case of neglect.
You say forget it,
My mouth's already wrecked
Don't let your mouth go dry….
Neglected a cavity or two, two, two
Listerine
Listerine
Listerine
Listerine
