Brain Storms

Brain Storms

The world is full of many things, that science can’t explain:
And one of these, is the disease, that’s slately hit the brain:
IT used to be insanity,
But at the present day,
But anybody’s crazy in the head, the doctors say:
It’s only (chorus?) Brain Storms: Brain Storms; Everybody has them now:
It’s a queer sensation underneath your hat, that keeps you guessing as to “where you’re at,”
It’s Brain Storms: Brain Storms: just a little passing squall:
If you don’t feel right, in your “upper flight,” you’ve got a Brain Storm, that’s all
Encore Chorus
Brain Storms: Brain Storms: Everybody has them now:
We’re all going crazy, if you give us time:
If you don’t believe it, take the Erie line
For Brain Storms: Brain Storms: give the Erie just one call:
You’ll be old and lame, when you leave their train:
And have a Brain Storm, that’s all:

Benjamin Hapgood Burt
