The Brain’s Song

Lyrics

[THE BRAIN, spoken] So much to do So much to think about I have a migraine Too much pressure You think it's easy being a Brain? You always have to have an answer for everything You always have to make decisions You always have to rule Oh, for the old days, when being a Brain was simpler To be a Brain's not easy, no To be a Brain is tough [THE BRAIN] It's never light and breezy It's really pretty rough It's just work, work, work and think, think, think It's no wonder many Brains start to drink, drink, drink Yes, a Brain must be a ruler and have a mighty wrath But when I was younger, I had a hunger to take a different path I was young, I was gay and a dreamer Just a Brain who was carefree, no schemеr I floated on air, not a care or concern That was mе! As a young Brain I didn't have issues Just a Brain with some lovely brain tissues I had lots of fun, life was wonderful and Fancy free Now I'm a ruler, a leader A Brain on a mission To conquer the world as we know it And I can't make mistakes Can't fall short in my plan No, I can't be the first Brain to blow it I can't fail, I can't flop Can't let anyone stop me Or top me—I've gotta succeed And I will—yes, indeed Way back when, I was chipper and cheerful Now I'm bad and I make people fearful But sometimes I yearn to return to the Brain I was then But no, I can't, so it's back to the Brain that I am once again [THE BRAIN, spoken] Here we go! Everybody, sing along! Just follow the bouncing Brain [THE BRAIN] Way back when, I was chipper— And cheer— No— [THE BRAIN, spoken] Wait, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold, hold it! I know you're out there, I can hear you breathing Come on, you can do better than that—it's not brain surgery Here we go—everybody sing! [THE BRAIN] Way back when, I was chipper and cheerful (Good!) Now I'm bad and I make people fearful But sometimes I yearn to return to the Brain I was then [THE BRAIN, spoken] Okay, I'll take it home by myself now [THE BRAIN] But sometimes I yearn to return to the Brain I was But no, I can't and I shan't and I won't because Brains must be strong, never wrong, that's the price that we pay [THE BRAIN, spoken] Stand by—it's time to take over the San Fernando Valley! [THE BRAIN] And so this Brain will remain And the Earth'll be mine Today!
