EGGHEAD
words and music by Alex Cosper

One day back in school
there came a brand new kid
they treated him like a fool
they thought he was a squid
and his name was Egghead
yeah, his name was Egghead

He was a talented magician
and he'd wear a funny hat
he was great by his own admission
but many ignored this fact
and his name was Egghead
yeah, his name was Egghead

One day he was juggling tennis balls
on a telephone wire
above an enthusiastic crowd
but in the midst of his magic
Egghead suddenly began to slip
the sight was somewhat tragic
when they saw poor Egghead trip

Egghead fell and hit the ground
people wondered what was the matter
Egghead didn't make a sound
as his brains began to splatter
and his name was Egghead
yeah, his name was Egghead

Vice Principle Clayton
arriving at the scene
he had a reputation
for bein' kind of mean
He said, "is this some kind of joke?
this is making me sick
Egghead's brain was simply yoke
this was no magic trick
and his name was Egghead
yeah, his name was Egghead

Egghead was running out of luck
as he began to fry in the sun
the next morning the student body sold for a buck
scrambled eggs to everyone
and his name was Egghead
yeah, his name was Egghead
