Lonnie Johnson - Toothache Blues - Part 1 (1928) lyrics

VS: Ahhh, hahhh …[spoken words (s.w.)]

LJ: What's the matter, darlin'?[s. w.]

VS: Ahhh, hahhh …[s. w.]

VS: I'm havin' so much trouble with those toothache blues.

LJ: I'm a real good doctor to ease those toothache blues.

VS: Ahhh, ahhh … [s. w.]

VS: It's got me floor walkin' and wearin' out both of my shoes.

VS: Ahhhhh … [s. w.]

LJ: You need a quick fillin' dentist, now don't be mean and cross.

VS: Ohhh, doctor … huhh … LJ: Hush up, darlin', just a minute … [s. w.]

You need a quick fillin' dentist, now don't be mean and cross.

VS: Mmm, mmm … [s. w.]

VS: Last night I was hot with fever, I just rolled and tossed.

VS: Ohhh, doctor … LJ: Just a minute, darlin' … [s. w.]

LJ: Don't get nervous honey, when I lay you in my chair.

VS: Mmm … LJ: Sit still, darlin' … [s. w.]

Don't get nervous, honey when I lay you in my chair.

VS: Ahhh, doctor, doctor … [s. w.]

VS: If you use what's in your hand, you'll make me pull my hair.

VS: Ahhh, ouch, mmm … LJ: Just a minute … [s. w.]

VS: I feel a funny little somethin' easin' into my cavity.

VS: Mmm, ouch, ohhh … (giggling)

I feel a funny little somethin' easin' into my cavity.

LJ: That's nothin' but cocaine and liquor to ease your pains you see.

VS: Ohhh, doctor, mmm … LJ: Wait, just a minute now ... [s. w.]

VS: Mmm … LJ: I got it now ... [s. w.]

VS: Ahhh, ahhh … LJ: I … I pulled it now … [s. w.]

VS: Ahhh, doctor … LJ: Don't it feel better now? [s. w.]

VS: Ahhhh … LJ: It won't be long now … [s. w.]

VS: Mmmm … mmmm … [s. w.]
