[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
It was Con one hot summer afternoon, & we thought we had it mG7ade,
We'd G7had our fill of a big country meal, we's a napping around in the shCade,
OCur Uncle Ben was a big fat man, soon he fell fast asFleep,
He sG7nored & he wheezed & he coughed & he sneezed & he swallowed his false tCeeth.
Well Che jumped up & got blue in the face & we knew there was something wG7rong,
When he G7got bug eyed & we all realized, his false teeth was gCone,
Uncle BCen cried to Aunt Judy, “Lord what am I gonna G7do,”
I'm gonna sG7tarve to death 'cause I'm afraid to eat & if I could well I couldn't even cChew,
I kCnow they're gonna have to cut me open,  take me to old Doc. GlFass,
Then ya aG7ught-ta heard him holler when he charged him $20 said “You just have to let 'em pCass.”
[Chorus]
 Doctor said it was a stFicky situation,   Didn't want to do an opCeration,
 Said it's good for ending cG7onstipation,   Complication of the boCwels,
 Putting him into a laFxative state,   Big old bill explaCins the daze,
 Didn't know how lG7ong it'd take,   'Till they chewed their way oCut.C  
[Verse 2]
Uncle BCen was ashamed to smile without his teeth, a little embarrassed no dG7oubt,
He kG7ept asking Aunt Judy what the Dr. meant when they said they'll have to chew their way oCut,
He dCidn't go to church with Aunt Judy very much but now he felt like he needed to prFay,
So he G7got on his knees and asked the good Lord please,  “Let there be another wCay.”
[Verse 3]
Next mCorning we thought we heard a wildcat scream but it was just our Uncle BenG7,
He bG7roke & run 'till the outhouse was groaning, “Lord I'm a dying agCain,”
ACunt Judy went to check on him & they was gone for the longest whFile,
When the dG7oor flew open he said  “Fix me some breakfast,”  wearing a big old smCile.
[Chorus]
 Doctor said it was a stFicky situation,   Didn't want to do an opCeration,
 Said it's good for ending cG7onstipation,   Complication of the boCwels,
 Putting him into a laFxative state,   Big old bill explaCins the daze,
 Didn't know how lG7ong it'd take,   'Till they chewed their way oCut.
