The monkey in the middle doesn't hear what he said.
He's just lets the ball keep flyin' over his head.
Doesn't laugh when he's right and doesn't cry when he's wrong.
He's a happy chimp jumpin', just keeps singing along.

No brain, no pain
No brain, no pain
Stay happy, stay happy
No pain, no brain
No brain, no pain

Knowing that you don't know is a terrible thing.
When you don't know nothing and they make you the king.
Smart enough to attack but then you've got to retreat.
And when you trip to the stars you feel the lead in your feet.

No brain, no pain
No brain, no pain
Oh please don't worry about anything
No pain, no brain
Stay happy, stay happy
Ha ha ha ha ha

Don't try to rise above it.
It's better below.
When life is going by you, you'll never know.
When everything is simple, it's really sublime.
Don't try to rise above it, below it is fine.

When we were younger, we were so sensitive.
We felt everything so intensely.
So smart, we took everything apart.
Let's hear it for the boys and girls just having fun and not worrying about anything.

No brain, no pain
No brain, no pain
No pain, no brain
No pain, no brain

Oh stay happy
Oh please stay happy
We do not worry about anything
Oh happy, happy, happy

Don't try to rise above it.
It's better below.
When life is going by you, you'll never know.
When everything is simple, it's really sublime.
Don't try to rise above it.

Below it is fine.
Don't try to rise above it.
It's better below.

When life is going by you, you'll never know.
When everything is simple, it's really sublime.
Don't try to rise above it.

Below it is fine.
Never rise above it
It's better below.

When life is going by you, you'll never know.
When everything is simple, it's really sublime.
Don't try to rise above it.
Below it is fine.
