  • Candy everywhere , got chocolate in my hair
    Aching to get me
    Stickly sweet suckers in the Halloween air
    Aching to get me

    Saint Vitus dance on my morals tonight
    Aching to get me
    Aching to get me, get me oh ...
    Take it to the doc, I guess he ought to know

    La, la, la, da
    Which ones can stay , which one gotta go
    He looks in my mouth and then he starts to gloat
    He says me teeth are O.K.

    But my gums got to go
    Oh oh ...
    I come off the gas but I'm still seeing spies
    Aching to get me

    I can see them all through a glassy pair of eyes
    Aching to get me
    De Sade's gonna live in my mouth tonight
    La, da, da, da, da

    And the rotten tooth fairy is satisfied
    La, da, da, da, da
    Aching to get me, get me oh ... Writer/s: ALICE COOPER, MICHAEL BRUCE, NEAL SMITH

    you think THAT'S a weird song for alice?? lol -- not laughing at you, just thinking of some other songs of alice's ... 'cold ethyl' comes to mind lol ...

    "One thing
    No lie
    Ethyl's frigid as an eskimo pie
    She's cool in bed
    Well she oughta be 'cause Ethyl's dead"

    and his delivery just cracks me up ... but alice has had some beauts ,... a great performer and all time classic
  • Jordan from Akron, MiThis is great. Alice chasing the tooth with a giant toothbrush is just brilliant.
  • Johnny from Los Angeles, CaWhat a weird song. Dentist? What strange concept for Alice Cooper, especially after reading the "frisky with toothbrush" line and realized just how weird he was.
