Brain Washing Lyrics

Ooh-ooh

 Old Mr. Joe, he build a house away

 On top of some hill

 Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so he

 He got right down and wrote bank will

 He say now, here's to mother hen

 And her chicken, Lord have mercy now

 Master, will you take a roll in the mud

 Like you know you should?

 The old barnyard, the old barnyard

 Birds and the chick, ooh-wee

 Who's got to watch out for brother mongoose

 With his top hap and walking-stick?

 

 It's just the poor's brain washing

 (Poor's ...) They told me a long time ago,

 It's just the poor's brain washing, ooh-wee

 (Poor's brain washing) Now look at a thing like this

 

 Cinderella and her long lost fellow

 In the midnight hour, she lost her silver slipper

 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

 While Jack and Jill had themselves a fall

 

 It's just the poor's (... brain washing)

 And I don't need it no longer (... washing)

 It's just the poor's brain washing

 Coming through to a poor man's child, ooh-wee, look at this

 

 Little Miss Muffet she sat on a tuffet

 While Little Red Riding Hood delivered her grandmom's food

 Ooh-wee ooh-wee

 Ooh-wee, look at one more thing like this

 The cow jumping over the moon

 While the dish got jealous, he grabbed the handy spoon

 

 It's just the poor's brain washing

 And I don't need it no longer, I don't want it no longer

 I don't need it no longer (...washing)

 And I don't care for no more brain washing (... washing) ...
