I Don’t Know No One, ‘Cause my Brain Wore Out!
(Tune: Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out!)
Once I lived the life of a college grad,
Had lots of friends and I was always glad!
Went to plays and movies, read lots of books,
Went to nice restaurants with very good cooks!
Then my memory forgot how to store,
At first it was just numbers, but then it was more!
Birthdays, anniversaries, name and places,
Like a deck of cards, without any aces!
(Chorus)
I don’t know no one, cause my brain wore out!
Under my hat, there’s just grey hair!
Aside from that, there’s not much there!
If we ever meet on the street again,
I hope that I would greet you like a long lost friend,
But now I fear I’ll just stare in doubt,
You see - I don’t know no one, 'cause my brain wore out!
