Cavity Search
Music and Lyrics ©2018 Thomas B. Hedrick / Tom Hedrick Music - ASCAP

Doctor Prentis was an old Dentist.
He sold his practice and retired.
A part time job with the Border Patrol, he coveted.
Hey, he was hired!

He’ll perform any task that he is asked,
but his favorite one is to don the mask and do a…
CAVITY SEARCH!
A cavity search.

As you approach the border station when you’re on vacation,
you’d best not look suspicious.
On your business trip, don’t give any lip,
or you’ll be thought malicious.
Oh, and Doctor P., so full of glee,
he’ll tell, “now bend over” for a…hmmm…
CAVITY SEARCH! (That’s right…)
A cavity search.

It’s a job he clearly loves.
Hear the snap of the rubber gloves!
It’s time for a…
CAVITY SEARCH! (Oh! Yeah…)
A cavity search.

If he thinks you are a carrier,
before you cross the barrier,
he’ll do a…
CAVITY SEARCH! (Oh!)
