Dentist -Little Shop of Horrors

Another Halloween-y themed one here from Little Shop of Horrors. Sing as insane sadistic dentist, Orin Scrivello as you explain your calling in life. After all, what better way to instill fear in the hearts of others than by being a dentist? In the 1986 movie Steve Martin portrays the maniacal sadist in what I consider to be the hilight of his career (See video below!) So have fun with this one, I know I will!
Here are the lyrics:

[SCRIVELLO]
When I was young and just a bad little kid
My momma noticed funny things I did
Like shootin' puppies with a B B gun
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done
I'd find a pussy cat and bash its head
That's when my momma said

[TRIO] (What did she say?)

She said "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay"
You'll be a dentist

[TRIO] (Be a dentist)

You have a talent for causing things pain
[TRIO] (Pain)

Son, be a dentist
[TRIO] (Son, be a dentist)

People will pay you to be inhumane
[TRIO] (Inhumane)

Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist you'll be a success

[GIRLS]
Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque!
Watch him suck up that gas, oh my God
He is a dentist and he'll never ever be any good
Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis De Sade?
[PATIENT]
Oh, that hurts, wait, I'm not numb!

[SCRIVELLO]
Ehh, shut up, open wide, here I come!
I am your dentist[TRIO] (Goodness Gracious)

And I enjoy the career that I picked
[TRIO] (Love it)

I am your dentist
[TRIO] (Fitting braces)

And I get off on the pain I inflict
[TRIO] (You really love it)

I thrill when I drill a bicuspid[TRIO] (Ooh, bicuspid)

It's swell, though they tell me I'm maladjusted
[TRIO] (Dentist)

And though it may 'cause my patients distress
[TRIO] (Distress)

Somewhere, somewhere in heaven above me
I know that my momma's proud of me
Oh, momma
'Cause I'm a dentist and a success
Say aah
[PATIENT] (Ahh)

Say aah
[PATIENT] (Ahh)

Say AHH!!!
[PATIENT](Ahh!!!)
Now spit!

Here's Steve Martin being awesome:
