STUDENT #1:<br>
It's been said the your grandfather<br>
Brought dead tissue back to life,<br>
Is that true, Dr. Frankenstein?<br>
<br>
STUDENT #2:<br>
It's been said that your grandfather<br>
Created a horrifying monster,<br>
Is that true, Dr. Frankenstein?<br>
<br>
STUDENT #3:<br>
It's been said . . .<br>
<br>
(spoken)<br>
. . . nay, even sung . . .<br>
<br>
(sung)<br>
That your grandfather's monster<br>
Hurt and lamed, killed and maimed,<br>
Is that true, Dr. Frankenstein?<br>
<br>
STUDENTS:<br>
Is that true, Dr. Frankenstein?<br>
Is that true, Dr. Frankenstein?<br>
Is that true,<br>
Is that true,<br>
Is that true,<br>
Is that true, Dr. Frankenstein?<br>
<br>
FREDERICK (spoken):<br>
That's Fronkensteen! My name, it's pronounced Fronkensteen! Yes, yes, the whole world knows what my grandfather did. But<br>
please, do I look like the kind of madman who'd prowl around graveyards, digging up freshly buried corpses?<br>
<br>
STUDENT #1:<br>
Well, Professor . . .<br>
<br>
FREDERICK:<br>
Don't answer that!<br>
<br>
(sung)<br>
I'm not a Frankenstein,<br>
I don't indulge in hijinks<br>
Or tomfoolery!<br>
<br>
I'm not a Frankenstein,<br>
I don't believe in mummies,<br>
Ghosts, or Ghoulery!<br>
<br>
I deal in fact not fiction,<br>
I am a scientist,<br>
I live for truth and reason,<br>
That's the reason I exist<br>
<br>
(spoken)<br>
There is a vast difference between my crazy grandfather's delusional experiments and my own devotion to pure science. Which<br>
leads us directly to the subject of today's lecture.<br>
<br>
(sung)<br>
The brain!<br>
There is nothing like the brain<br>
Hearts and lungs are simply tinker toys<br>
When stacked against the brain!<br>
<br>
Insane!<br>
I'm insane about the brain!<br>
No invention in the universe<br>
Is equal to the brain!<br>
<br>
The mouth's a marvel<br>
When it comes to eating,<br>
I've nothing against the womb,<br>
I thank the bladder<br>
When I'm excreting,<br>
And I always give the elbow room!<br>
<br>
But the brain!<br>
Please allow me to explain,<br>
There's no organ can compare to it,<br>
I swear to it, it's plain,<br>
It's the brain . . .<br>
<br>
(spoken)<br>
Mr. Hilltop here, with whom I have never worked nor given any prior instruction to, has graciously offered his services for<br>
this afternoon's demonstration.<br>
<br>
(sung)<br>
His medulla oblongata,<br>
Tells his brain stem that it's gotta<br>
<br>
Send an impulse full of data<br>
Which creates a lotta pain.<br>
<br>
His frontal lobe gets busy<br>
<br>
With a thought that makes him dizzy,<br>
Puts his cortex in a tizzy,<br>
So he never will complain,<br>
That's what I love about the brain!<br>
<br>
(spoken)<br>
Mr. Hilltop, will you raise your left knee, please. You have just witnessed a voluntary nerve impulse. Mr. Hilltop, you<br>
may lower your knee. Reflex movements, on the other hand, are those which are made independently of the will. Why you dirty<br>
rotten yellow son-of-a-bith!<br>
<br>
MR. HILLTOP:<br>
Ooooh!<br>
<br>
FREDERICK:<br>
Even though I almost kneed him<br>
His reflexes have no freedomm<br>
to react when I mistreat him,<br>
It's important I explain<br>
Synaptic nerve connection<br>
Goes its way without detection<br>
Bringing cranial protection<br>
In a never-endinig chain!<br>
That's what I love about the brain!<br>
<br>
(spoken)<br>
But what if we were to block those nerve impulses by simply aplying local pressure . . . . . . which can be done with any<br>
ordinary metal clamp, just at the swelling of the posterior nerve root . . . for say, oh, four seconds . . . . . . Why you<br>
mother-grabbing bastard! As you can see, even though I have just smashed my knee into his crotch, he does not react. He<br>
feels absolutely nothing.<br>
<br>
MR. HILLTOP:<br>
Mmmm . . .<br>
<br>
FREDERICK:<br>
More or less. So if it were not for this continuous stream of motor impulses from the brain, we would collapse . . . . . .<br>
like a bunch . . . of . . . broccoli!<br>
<br>
MR. HILLTOP:<br>
Oooooh!<br>
<br>
FREDERICK (sung):<br>
And in conclusion,<br>
So there's no confusion,<br>
Let me say it once again,<br>
Though your genitalia<br>
Has been known to fail ya,<br>
You can bet your ass on the brain!<br>
<br>
(spoken)<br>
Everybody!<br>
<br>
STUDENTS (sung):<br>
The brain!<br>
There is nothing like the brain!<br>
It's the king of our anaotomy<br>
And ever shall it reign!<br>
<br>
FREDERICK:<br>
You can call me Copernicus,<br>
Kepler, or Newton,<br>
Compare me to Freud<br>
I'd feel high-falutin!<br>
<br>
Call me a Darwin,<br>
I love that man's theory,<br>
Call me Pasteur<br>
And watch me get teary!<br>
<br>
Say Madame Curie,<br>
That would be the best,<br>
Call me a Rorschach,<br>
I'm up to the test!<br>
<br>
I really light up<br>
When you call me Edison<br>
Call me an Erlich,<br>
I like that man's medicine<br>
Call me Marconi,<br>
That wireless wow<br>
<br>
Call me Pavlov,<br>
And I'll bark like a chow<br>
Call me an Einstein<br>
And that would be fine<br>
If you called me a Tesla<br>
I wouldn't decline<br>
<br>
But to call me a Frankenstein<br>
Would be insane,<br>
Cause I love the brain!<br>
<br>
STUDENTS:<br>
His name is Fronkensteen<br>
The facts are plain<br>
There is nothing like the brain!<br>
<br>
