The Ballad of Takemoto Listen you jaws and I shall tell of the wondrous tale of a root canal Twas a weekend noon and a Sunday too, so it sure was a marvelous thing to do Twas Memorial day and vacation time just to make it a sacrifice sublime But the strangest thing in this song of worth is the Doc came in on her date of birth Defiant and proud she cared not the hour She stood like a giant of Dental power She had answered the call of my anguished cry To conquer the beast and do or die Twas a tooth from hell with roots like an oak Beyond the fears of mortal folk It reached below the hells of men To pierce my soul and back again She fought with drill, She fought with file She wrestled the monster with wit and guile An epic battle for good or ill But nothing could match her mighty will The smoke once cleared revealed her glory The stuff of myth that is her story She'd climb beyond the peak of virtue To tame the pain that came to hurt you And so a legend here was born To herald with a trumpet horn She is a hero quite unique A Doc you find when ere you seek Thanks a ton Doc!!!
