Lyrics, Part III

They took my brain

Stuck it in a jar

Now I know that I'm no fool

'Cuz now, my brain is gettin' an education

Finally got into Harvard Medical School!

[organica]

Lyrics, Part II They took my lungs They gave 'em to a young man Just as cool as he could be But then he switched from Kools To his favorite Camels And he lives in New York City! They took my eyes Gave 'em to a blind man Just so that he could see Now I wouldn't mind But for what they're lookin' at Just watchin' the damned TV!

[organica]

Lyrics, Part I Come gather round And hear my tale So full of woe that I'm glum I've been broken apart, Yes I'm broken-hearted Don'tcha do what I have done. I gave my body to science (Now look what's become of me.) They took my hair Fashioned into a wig And now it's stuck on a shelf Which is not very big.
