Scatterbraine, they smoked you out of the foxhole   Scatterbraine, you act like a priest in a brothel   Naïve charm, the idiot boy from the farm   Father tried to save you with prayers and psalms      Grace and Lydia and Dorothy   The village idiot sent them to sleep   Policeman O'Riley cannot believe   That someone so dumb could be still on the run from the law      Scatterbraine, the strength of an ox on cocaine   Scatterbraine, are mother and father to blame?   He's not insane, just a boy who goes searching for treasure   Sunshine, rain, he'll find it whatever the weather      Grace and Lydia and Dorothy   The village idiot sent them to sleep   Policeman O'Riley cannot believe   That someone so dumb could be still on the run from the law      This ain't no fairytale for you to cheer   Something's ugly in the atmosphere      And his name is Scatterbraine
