In an injudicious moment today, having been scaled and polished, I mentioned to my hygienist that I knew of a singer/songwriter, Loudon Wainwright III, who was very hot on flossing his teeth and had written songs about it.

This of course elicited a request for more information and here I seem to have run up against a blank. I have seen LW in concert several times and distinctly recall flossing being mentioned during his act, but I can't find any songs.

Help! Over to you, 'catters! Any help will be deeply appreciated and will be rewarded by a pearly white smile from me!

I'M ALRIGHT
(Loudon Wainwright III)

Woke up this morning, didn't feel that bad
Last night was definitely not one of the worst I ever had
Ate a nice dinner, drank a few drinks
Didn't think about you baby no matter what you think
Went back to my hotelroom I went straight to bed
Didn't moan, didn't cry and I did not wish I was dead
I'm alright
I'm alright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you

Woke up this morning, didn't have the blues
So I put on my tubesocks, laced up my running shoes
Went down to the reservoir to jog a mile or two
Didn't take about our love and I wasn't missing you
Went back to my hotelroom took a few phonecalls
Clean sheets on a made up bed and artwork on the wall
I'm allright
I'm allright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you

Woke up this afternoon and I sat up in the bed
There was a gnawing in my gut and a poundin' in my head
So I went to the bathroom, to the medicinechest
There was sleepin'pills and razorblades and all the rest
But I was in control baby I was so relaxed
I found myself my dental floss, my favourite kind - unwaxed
I'm alright
I'm alright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you

I listened to the recording on Spotify, and I have a few corrections:

I'M ALRIGHT
(Loudon Wainwright III)

I woke up this morning, didn't feel that bad;
Last night was definitely not one of the worst I'd ever had.
Ate a nice dinner, drank a few drinks,
Didn't miss you baby, no matter what you think.
Went back to my hotel room, I went straight to bed;
Didn't moan, didn't cry, and I did not wish I was dead.
I'm alright
I'm alright
Hey I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you

I woke up this morning, and I didn't have the blues,
So I pulled on my tubesocks, I laced up my running shoes;
Went down to the reservoir to jog a mile or two.
Didn't take about our love and I wasn't missing you,
Went back to my hotel room took a few phone calls;
Clean sheets on a made-up bed and artwork on the wall.
I'm alright
I'm alright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you

Woke up this afternoon and I sat up in the bed;
There was a gnawing in my gut and a poundin' in my head.
So I went to the bathroom, to the medicine chest,
There was razorblades and sleepin' pills and all the rest;
But I was in control baby, I was so relaxed.
I found myself my dental floss, my favorite kind - unwaxed.
I'm alright
I'm alright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you

Joe,
I still think it's "Didn't think about our love..."
It makes more sense too.
