"Oh, mum check the car it can't have gone far,

I jumped on a bus, declared my name,

 Am                   F
Asked if anybody had seen my brain

"Your brain was last seen going for a run

And would you sign an autograph for my daughter Laura?

'Cos she adores you, but I think you're shit

"I've gotta look for my brain for a bit!!"

I stepped outside, it hurt my eyes

"Well what do you expect when you've got no mind!?!?"

     C                 G
I searched all day it drove me insane

 Am                 F
"Where would I be if I was my brain?"

The nice nurse told me said she felt my pain

But couldn't find a single trace of my brain

"Oops I did it again" started playing

  Am               F                G
Forget my brain, remember my name!!
