The Lyrics

He’s got a wrongly bad champ; it goes
Occlusionally astray—
Orthodontic order’s on: clamp it so
The bite goes the right way;
That will help make the teeth’s neighborhood bucally good.
Correction starts right away.
Soon he’ll be able to laugh again
And show those straight white pearlies, bright as day.

Orthodontia: that’s how straight rows are made,
Orthodontia: when teeth are in or out curled,
That’s why
Orthodontia will get those teeth arrayed,
Orthodontia: then on grub they can prey.

So, put on some wire
After plastic brackets are mastic’d to the outside.
Then scrape off the taint of wine stains that resembles red paint.
Orthodontia: straighten each faux-grow tooth,
Orthodontia: those that did grow astray.

Swallow not baked goods from Nabisco
(Hooks your inner cheeks fray);
Stay ’way from baked goods made with Crisco
As you’re counting the days
Till you get the damn things off for good;
It’s understood: that till then, on everything stays,
And you will be setting an eat-sops table.
To make ’em straight, that’s the price ya pays.

Orthodontia: that’s how straight rows are made,
Orthodontia: braces a burden—sometimes you’ll cry,
Orthodontia will get those teeth arrayed,
Orthodontia: then on lunch they can prey.

Orthodontia: straighten each woe-grow tooth,
Orthodontia: those that did grow astray.
Orthodontia: all 28, in truth,
Orthogonal ain’t—they’ll be straight one day.

Man, I'm glad I never had to do all that stuff! Way to take a bite out of the OS.

JAB - I declined the chance to have braces as a youth. Now I pay the price as a horrible technical brass player. Kids...learn the lesson! (BTW, I am still ok on the JAB ax...saxophone!). ;D
