Come on brain, do something right
Let me make her happy tonight
We were doing o.k., things were going all right
Let me make her happy tonight
Come on brain, say something clever
Deliver a good, pull the right lever
Let me at least say something that makes some sense
Let me just show a sign of intelligence
I've been obscure, and I've been absurd
And I've been accused of being a nerd
I've been a cretin, and I've been a cur
But mostly I've been in love with her
Just once, let me not be a dunce
Let me make her happy tonight
We were doing o.k., things were going all right
Let me make her happy tonight
Come on brain, say something clever
Deliver a good, pull the right lever
Let me at least say something that makes some sense
Let me just show a sign of intelligence
I've been obscure, and I've been absurd
And I've been accused of being a nerd
I've been a cretin, and I've been a cur
