Theme to STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENTS PINKY AND THE BRAIN (Episode P1)
Music by Richard Stone. Lyrics by Tom Ruegger.

 
They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
One is a genius
The other's insane.
They're laboratory mice
Their genes have been spliced
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain.
 
Before each night is done
Their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun
They'll take over the world.
 
They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
Their twilight campaign
Is easy to explain.
To prove their mousey worth
They'll overthrow the Earth
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Narf!

CHEESE ROLL CALL (Episode P4)
Lyrics by Paul Rugg.

Sung to Semper Fidelis by John Philip Sousa.

 
Pinky: A world of cheeses
       Deliciously made for you and me
       Flavors like Provolone and Brie
       Each with its own ethnicity.
       So many cheeses
       Are available all around the world for you to eat
       Especially good with crackers and meat
       A nice yummy treat.
 
       Thousands of cheeses
       The texture of some can be real gooey
       Others are quite firm and chewy
       Some are better when mildewy.
       Bountiful cheeses
       When you take a big whiff a few
       Will make you want to spew
       Especially strong is the cheese Remoudou
       A real stinkeroo.
 
       It's incredible just how many kinds there are
       From countries near and far
       It's really quite bizarre.
       Now from the mouths of cheeses big and small
       We proudly present to you
       The cheese roll call.
 
*Wensleydale: I am the British cheese Wensleydale, lightly
*             pressed and smooth textured with a subtle
*             milky flavor which is clean and refreshing.
*
*Pinky: Welcome, Wensleydale!
*
*Cheddam: G'day! I am Australian Cheddam, an
*         innocuous, golden yellow, rindless block
*         inspired by Cheddar and Edam!
*
*Pinky: Welcome, Cheddam!
 
Edelpilzkäse: I am the German cheese Edelpilzkäse, a fine,
              blue-veined cheese with a pale ivory paste
              and very dark veins traveling vertically
              through me.
 
Pinky: Welcome, Edelpil... Edel... oh, willkommen!
 
+Brie: I am the French cheese Brie, a soft,
+      unpressed, naturally drained cow's milk with
+      white rind flora, molded into large flat disks
+      and ripened for three to four weeks.
 
Pinky: Thank you, cheeses!  I want to eat you all!
 
Pinky: Oh, how I like my cheeses
       Cheese from around the world
       Cheese is the taste that pleases
       Cheese from around the world (sing with me, cheeses!)
 
+some: Oh, how I like my cheeses
       Cheese from around the world (everybody!)
+all : Cheese is the taste that pleases
       Cheese from around the world
 
       Around this great big world
       Around this big cheese world
       Around this great big world
       Around this big -- cheese -- world!
 
Pinky: Mmm... yummy! Narf!
 
* - On the "Variety Pack" album, Cheddam speaks before Wensleydale.
+ - Brie speaks only on the "Variety Pack" album.

Lyrics from BRAINANIA (Episode P5)
by John P. McCann

Brain: Spears in hand
       We sail for Yap
       We will wipe
       Them off the...
Pinky: ...front porch!

Brain: Brainania
       You nation of folks
Pinky: Here comes a guy
       Selling watery Cokes.

Brain: We will fight
       And never quit
Pinky: Find me a rooftop
       And I will spit.
       Narf!

Theme from A PINKY AND THE BRAIN CHRISTMAS (Episode P9)
by Peter Hastings

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
One is a genius
The other's insane.
Their holiday plan
Is to overthrow man
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain.

By the dawn of Christmas Day
Their plot shall be unfurled
They'll control the Earth
And bring joy to the world!

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
They're happy merry gentlemen
Singing this refrain.
And after Christmas Eve
The world will believe
In Pinky
In Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Narf!

Lyrics from MOUSE OF LA MANCHA (Episode P12)
by Gordon Bressack and Charles Howell IV

Don Cerebro (parody of Don Quixote)
Music by Peter Hastings.

 
Brain: Listen up, all you sniv'ling and cowardly mice
       You may live in your cage if you please
       But not I, for I've learned not to take just a slice
       When I'm destined to have the whole cheese.
 
       It is I, Don Cerebro, the mouse of La Mancha
       I'm blessed with a huge frontal lobe
       For a mouse with my power, it won't take an hour
       I plan to take over the globe.
       I plan to take over the globe.
       Thanks to my huge frontal lobe.
 
Pinky: I'm Pinky; yes, I'm Pinky
       I poit and I narf and I say "Egad!"
       I botch up his plans, daily
       Then he conks me when he's mad.
 
(conk!)
 
Brain: Pay attention, you nobles and peasants of Spain
       You may think that I haven't a chance
       But I have an immensely superior brain
Pinky: And he's wearing aluminum pants.
 
Brain: It is I, Don Cerebro...          Pinky: I'm Pinky, yes...
       ...the mouse of La Mancha               I'm Pinky
       I'm blessed with a hu-- (THUD!)         I'm poit and I naarr...ooh.
                                               Brain?

To Scheme the Improbable Scheme
(parody of To Dream the Impossible Dream)
Music by Peter Hastings.
 
Brain: It's not important whether he succeeded or not. What's important is...
 
Brain: To scheme the improbable scheme
       To plan the unthinkable plan
       To build when your arms are too tiny
       To walk in the suit of a man.
 
       This is my fate
       To conquer the earth
       To play with the big boys
       Though I lack the girth
       To reach for the stars
       On a whim or a dare
       I could climb to the top
       If I only could reach the first stair.
 
       And the world doesn't know what they'll miss
       If a mouse doesn't follow his dream
       To scrawl with his last bit of graphite
       To scheme the improbable scheme!

Lyrics from WHERE THE DEER AND THE MOUSEALOPES PLAY (Episode P28)
Music by Julie Bernstein.
Lyrics and dialog by Wendell Morris and Tom Sheppard.

Pittsburg is My Land (parody of This Land is Your Land)

 
Brain: Pittsburg is my land
       It isn't your land
       Go find your own land
       'Cause this is my land.

       Please find your way to
       The nearest exit;
       Pittsburg's for mousealopes only!

End of Pinky and The Brain lyrics
