The narrator's spouse has put the wind up him by insisting that he needs a brain scan.
LYRICS:
I've had some lapses lately
And my wife thinks I need a brain scan
I love her dearly but I'm sure I don't need no brain scan!
I don't think my head has gone to mould
It's just that I'm slowly growing old
But my wife insists I'm in dire need of a brain scan
It's a waste of time submitting me to a brain scan
There's nothing wrong that we need to fix with a brain scan
I prefer that nature will run its course
Scanning me would be a wasted resource
But my wife insists I'm in dire need of a brain scan
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
Magnetic resonance it gives me the creeps
Or position emission tomography
These words put the fear of God in me
Like Electroencephalography
I guess I'm frightened of what they'd find with a brain scan
Whatever it was, it would mess with my mind, that brain scan
So I don't think now I will ever go
If they book me an appointment I just won't show
I don't care if my wife insists I need a brain scan
