[Spoken Intro: John Flansburgh]
Oh, let me tell you about my operation!

[Verse 1: John Flansburgh]
Smile wide, scrub side, feet on the dash
I'll sleep the whole damn day
Slow lane, propane, empties for cash
Rearview mirror thrown away

[Chorus 1: John Flansburgh]
Oh, let me tell you about my operation
Doctors removed your memory
(Très bon!)

[Verse 2: John Flansburgh]
Ground floor, screen door, yelling inside
I think you know the scene
Front lawn, break of dawn, clothes on the ground
How could you be so mean?

[Chorus 2: John Flansburgh]
Oh, let me tell you about my operation
Doctors removed your memory
Oh, it's good news, it's just a quick procedure
Find happiness through surgery
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3: John Flansburgh]
Oh, let me tell you about my operation
Doctors declared I'm better now
Our liaison: oh, it was poison baby
Our liaison: it was a drag

[Chorus 4: John Flansburgh]
(Ahhhhh!)
Oh, let me tell you about my operation
Doctors removed your memory
Oh, it's good news, it's just a quick procedure
Find happiness through surgery

[Spoken Outro: John Flansburgh]
Très bon! Très bon! Très bon!
