Just pass my teeth before you leave me

The story:

I always thought this was a very frank statement from a denture-wearer, and in some ways a very intimate thing to ask a lover to do - "just pass my teeth before you leave" (presumably they were sat in a glass of water across the room)

I realised I had been wrong for many years when it popped up on a local radio station and the DJ said that he had ALSO though it was "pass my teeth" and then he downloaded the lyrics from the Net!
