Christopher Patrick had an unfortunate accident
Let’s just say it was a frozen bratwurst incident
A welder by trade, he could have one made for a real low cost
And now he’s got a new steel bridge to replace all the teeth he lost
Some people say, “It’s gonna rust, you can’t trust that it won’t cave in.”
“It should be gold or molded out of porcelain.”
But I say, “A silvery grin, above my chin
It might blind you a smidge
But I think of all the money I saved on my steel bridge.”
Every time they laugh, I just flash them a great big smile
It might not be their cup of tea, but it’s just my style
I’ve got the silvery grin under my chin
It might blind you a smidge
But think of the impression I’ll make with my steel bridge
Some people say, “It’s gonna rust, you can’t trust that it won’t cave in.”
“It should be gold or molded out of porcelain.”
But I say, “A silvery grin, above my chin
It might blind you a smidge
But think of all the money I saved on my steel bridge.
Yeah, I know it’s mine and I’ll be just fine with my steel bridge.”
