Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKHK LMNM OBPBCB QBRBCB| All joys I bless but I confess | A |
| There is one greatest thrill | B |
| What the dentist does when he stops the buzz | C |
| And puts away the drill | B |
| - | |
| His engine hums along my gums | D |
| its excavating drone | E |
| I salivate and gurgling wait | F |
| Vibrating to the bone | E |
| - | |
| Oh will he save this tooth concave | G |
| Or will he now decide | H |
| To grind away some more decay | I |
| He murmurs Open wide | H |
| - | |
| So I must feel the burning steel | J |
| The hot and fragile twinge | K |
| And mutely bide till he push aside | H |
| The bracket on its hinge | K |
| - | |
| But will he swerve toward that nerve | L |
| I wonder gagged agape | M |
| He sees me gulp and spares the pulp | N |
| My God a close escape | M |
| - | |
| The creosote is in my throat | O |
| I weep against my will | B |
| My nostrils itch sensation which | P |
| I can't relieve until | B |
| He stops the buzz and packs the fuzz | C |
| And puts away the drill | B |
| - | |
| I grant the bliss of love's warm kiss | Q |
| Or wealth or fame or skill | B |
| These i esteem but yet I deem | R |
| There is one greater thrill | B |
| When he stops the buzz as at last he does | C |
| And puts away the drill | B |
