2007 Broadway Young Frankenstein the Musical - The Brain Lyrics
Man 1: Its been said that your grandfather brought dead tissue back to life. Is that true Doctor Frankenstein?
Man 2: Its been said that your grandfather created a horrifying monster. Is that true, Doctor Frankenstein?
Man 3: Its been said, nay even sung, that your grandfather’s monster hurt and lamed, Killed and maimed. Is that true, Doctor Frankenstein?
Chorus: Is that true, Doctor Frankenstein? X2 Is that true? X 4 Doctor Frankenstein!?
Frederick: That’s Frankenstein My name, it’s pronounced Frankenstein Yes, yes, yes. The whole world knows what my grandfather did. But please do I look like the kind of madman that would prowl around graveyards digging up freshly buried corpses?
Man: Well Professor...
Frederick: Don’t answer that.
I’m not a Frankenstein I don’t indulge in hijinx or tomfooleries.
I’m not a Frankenstein I don’t believe in mummies, ghosts, or ghouleries.
I deal in facts not fiction I am a scientist I live for truth and reason That’s the reason I exist.
There is a vast difference between my crazy grandfather’s delusional experiments and my own devotion to pure science Which leads us directly to the subject of today’s lecture.
The Brain There is nothing like the Brain Hearts and lungs are simply tinker toys When stacked against the Brain
Insane I’m insane about the Brain No invention in the universe Is equal to the Brain The mouth's a marvel when it comes to eating I’ve nothing against the womb I thank the bladder when I’m excreting And I always give the elbow room
But the Brain Please allow me to explain There’s no organ to compare to it I swear to it. It's plain! It’s the Brain
Mr. Hilltop here. With whom I have never worked Nor given any prior instruction to Has graciously offered his services for this afternoon’s demonstration
His Medulla Oblongata Tells his brain stem that it’s gotta Send an impulse full of data Which creates a lot of pain
His frontal lobe gets busy With a thought that makes him dizzy Puts his cortex in a tizzy So he never will complain
That’s what I love about the Brain
Mr. Hilltop, will you raise your left knee please. You have just witnessed a voluntary nerve impulse Mr. Hilltop, you may lower your knee
Reflex movements, on the other hand Are those which are made independently of the will Why you dirty rotten yellow son of a bitch!
Even though I almost kneed him His reflexes have no freedom To react when I mistreat him Its important I explain
Synaptic Nerve Connection Goes its way without detection Bringing Cranial Protection In a never ending chain
That’s what I love about the Brain
But what if we were to block those nerve impulses By simply applying local pressure Which can be done with any ordinary metal clamp Just at the swelling of the posterior nerve roots For say oh... 4 seconds
Why you mother grabbing bastard!
As you can see even though I just smashed my knee into his crotch He does react, he feels absolutely nothing
(Mr. Hilltop moans in pain)
... More or less.
So, if it were not for this continuous stream of motor impulses from the Brain We would collapse like a bunch of broccoli And in conclusion So there’s no confusion Let me say it once again
Though your genetalia Has been known to fail ya You can bet your ass on the Brain! Everybody!
All: The Brain! There is nothing like the Brain! It’s the king of our anatomy And ever shall it reign!
Frederick: You can Call me Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton Compare me to Freud and I’d feel highfalutin Call me a Darwin I love that man’s theory Call me Pasteur and watch me get teary Say Madam Curie that would be the best Call me a Rorschach Im up to the test
I really light up when you call me Edison Call me an Ehrlich I like that man’s medicine Call me Marconi that wireless wow! Call me Pavlov and I bark like a choux Woof! Call me an Einstein and that would be fine Call me a Tesla I wouldn’t decline But to call me a Frankenstein would be insane
Cuz I Love The Brain!!!!!!
