I WAS A TEENAGE BRAIN SURGEON

Here's one of my favorite songs from my favorite album when I was ten.  You can listen to it HERE, and here are the lyrics.

 I WAS A TEENAGE BRAIN SURGEON

I was out of grade school at six
High school at eight
College at 10… and a half
And after three years pre-med
I was the head
Doctor of brain surgery

After operating I pause
Tighten the gauze
Wait for applause
While my patients laughed
Hysterically
Obviously
They were in stitches over me

I was a teenage brain surgeon
A teenage brain surgeon
A knocked out, fractured brain surgeon
The sharpest operator in town

While the other kids were digging
Dick Clark from coast to coast
I was digging Doctor Kildare
That man you know the most

Even when I was in grade school
I had that medical look
I never got past the appendix
Whenever I opened a book

Scalpel… scalpel (screaming)
Forceps… forceps (screaming)
Suture… suture (screaming)
Oops, anesthetic… (yelling that trails off into snoring)

Whenever I went out dancing
To make my night complete
I brought along my stethoscope
Man, you hear the wildest beat

One night the band was playing
I’ve got you under my skin
I scared a fella half to death
When I said, “May I cut in?”

I was a teenage brain surgeon
A teenage brain surgeon
A rockin’ rollin’ brain surgeon
The sharpest operator in town
