With respectful apologies to Cole Porter


Night and Day


From the beat beat beat of my dentures
As I strive to chew my food
From the clack clack clack
So out of whack
Sounding oh so rude
To the movement of the plastic
That has me oh so glum
I now deplore them
And so implore them
Relieve my wounded gums

Night and day
Why is it so
That these dentures remain with me
Wherever I go
In my oral cavity
They haven't done much good for me
Night and day
Day and night

Night and Day
Inside the mouth of mine
There's oh such a hunger yearning
For a successful tasty dine
But this I know and think
I'll only be sipping on liquid drinks
Night and Day
Day and Night
