Verse 1:

C                      G7
Take me to the dentist right away
C                      G7
Hollered little Johnny Jones one day
           Am    E7     Am
I've got a tooth that's hurting me
      D7           G7   G7+
And I simply can't delay

C                G7
In about an hour he was there
C                         G7
Standing right beside the dentist's chair
              D7
But when they sat him inside
       D       Bm     G7   G7+
To the dentist Johnny cried

Chorus:

           C     F     C
I've got a sweet tooth bothering me
                    F           C
Pull it out pull it out pull it out
         A7       D7
It isn't candy or molasses
         G7            C
It isn't honey, jam or cake

           D7               G
But when a sweet young lady passes
   D7              G7
My tooth begins to ache
         G7+
Like the dickens

  C     F   C
I don't use sugar at all
      Am           E
In my coffee or my tea
         F
But when I meet Rosie, Flo or May
   D7
My wisdom tooth says keep away
       C
But my sweet tooth
D7     G7        C G7
Starts bothering me

Verse 2:

C
Johnny hollered out
        G7
There's no one home
C                   G7
In the second story of my dome
         Am    E7  Am
Except a thous and  ladies fair
         D7           G7  G7+
And it's like a honey comb

C                      G7
Every night when I set down to eat
C                        G7
First I have my oysters, soup and meat
            D7
And then my favorite dessert
       D      Bm   G7   G7+
Is the rustle of a skirt

Chorus Repeat:

C
