My Brain

My Brain is track 11 from the album Arthur's Really Rockin' Music Mix. It is an entirely original song, not based on any story from the Arthur TV show. Despite its title, it is not performed by The Brain, but rather by Buster Baxter, about his own brain. It is in the style of New Orleans rock.

Lyrics
Here we go!

I've got a foot on each ankle

At the bottom of my legs

That make it very easy to walk

I'm glad my hands are on my arms

Not in my mouth

Because that would make it very hard to talk

And most importantly, at least to me

My brain's safe in my hard head

I'd never remove it to paint or improve it

I even leave it in to go to bed

My brain, my brain

I'm careful not to wash it down the drain

My brain, my brain

I leave it my skull

That might sound dull

But I'd never lose it in a hurricane

Oh yeah

Well, it's always there

Inside my head somewhere

Though my mind is always wandering around

And even though my brain can't go

My imagination is unbound

I won't deodorize it or modernize it

With tattoos or a crystal chandelier

You may not realize

But behind my eyes

There's a lot going on between my ears!

(sounds of phone ringing, bell chiming, dog barking, cat meowing)

My brain, my brain

I'm careful not to wash it down the drain

My brain, my brain

I leave it my skull

That might sound dull

But I'd never lose it in a hurricane

Oh no!

(sound of alarm ringing)

In the morning when it's a schoolday (yawns)

I've gotta get up, but my brain wants to stay

I don't know why.

It wakes up early every Saturday

My brain has a mind of its own

And I like it that way!

(extended instrumental break)

My brain, my brain

I'm careful not to wash it down the drain

Oh yeah!

My brain, my brain

I leave it my skull

That might sound dull

But I'd never lose it in a hurricane!

Whoo! Wowza! Ha cha cha cha cha.
