A few words from the Alleged Artist:
This is the oldest Velvet Cockroach song you are likely to ever hear, unless you get me simultaneously drunk, stoned, and replaced with a shape-shifting alien. It was penned in 1984, before I was allowed to drive, and long before I was allowed to vote, and even longer before I was allowed to drink anything but watery beer. In case you have spent your life wondering how a story about accidental surgery would sound to a tango beat, here is your chance at salvation. Otherwise, my apologies.


total lobotomy

my doctor, he did shout
get those tonsils out
well he ought to know
so i thought i'd go
what a bunch of incompetent fools
that run that big white shack
there ain't a single doctor there
who ain't a stinking quack

and i got a total lobotomy
you better take back all the things you said about me
unless you want an everythingectomy
you'd better shape up and be nice to me

by the time that they were through
i didn't know what to do
they'd shaved off all my hair
and my tonsils were still there
now i am insane
because i have no brain
so you'd better watch out
or i'll make you scream and shout

'cause i got a total lobotomy
you better take back all the things you said about me
unless you want an everythingectomy
you'd better shape up and be nice to me

one very dark night
after you've turned out the lights
i'll put koolaid in your gas tank
and pull all sorts of pranks
i'll get your guard dogs drunk
and quietly open the door
and then i'll nail your chairs to the ceiling
and your chandelier to the floor

'cause i got a total lobotomy
you better take back all the things you said about me
unless you want an everythingectomy
you'd better shape up and be nice to me
