William Finn - Trouble in His Brain [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[DR. BERENSTEINER]
Brain

[MIMI]
Brain?

[DR. BERENSTEINER]
There's trouble in his brain
Aneurism, tumor, we don't know
CAT scan told us lots of fluid sits around the brain
And so, we must operate drain

[MIMI]
What do you mean "drain"?

[DR. BERENSTEINER]
Gotta drain the brain
Put a shunt inside the skull and tube it to his stomach
Where he'll pee the fluid out

[MIMI]
What do you mean, "pee it out"?!

[DR. BERENSTEINER]
And without a doubt
We'll make it so we can see
What's going on inside his brain
Why something is amiss
What's going on inside his brain

[GORDON]
I can't believe this is happening. They're gonna operate on my brain?

[RHODA]
Don't think of giving up
Don't think of giving in
Don't think of anything but

[MIMI/RHODA]
The invincibility
Of Gordon Michael Schwinn

[MIMI]
They're just gonna drain some fluid

[GORDON]
Did you hear anything he said? Jesus, ma!
