Oh god, has old age began to set in? I'm against something I'll never win
My frown is causing people to ask why? I'm smiling but just want to cry
With warm concern, they ask, "what's the matter?" "I broke my tooth on a hard bit of Ciabatta"
Am I going to end up with a dodgy smile Sending folks running for a mile
The dentist will charge me an arm and a leg I wonder if she'll do it for free, if I beg?
I always had nightmares about my teeth falling out Now it's happened, I want to scream, cry and shout
All my friends think it's all rather amusing Oh yes, carry on, it's only my molar you're abusing
I suppose I should let it go, why should it even matter? It's only a tooth demolition by an overcooked Ciabatta
