Does anybody have the full lyrics for this song? I actually have almost the entire song but I am missing a couple of lines in the middle. Goes like this:

I suffer somethin’ awful when I think.
Thinkin’ puts my brain on the blink.
I feel a kind of tickin’ and a scrapin’ in my head,
like a million skaters clickin’ round a rink!
And here’s the part that always gets me sore:
Thinkin’ never changes the score.
By the time you make your mind up,
it’s a cinch you’re gonna wind up
behind the eight ball like you was before!

????..........???? Then I add it all up, dope it out, kinda mull it over. The hardest part for me is to remember what the problem is. It goes away from me and I chase it and then other things come in between it and me, like they was trying to trip me up.

I grit my teeth. An’ I shut my eyes.
An’ I screw my eyebrows together,
An’ I cover my ears so there ain’t no chance to hear.
I stay this way for a minute or two
an’ try to think the problem through,
to dig and dig and dig for a big ideer!
Then I open my eyes an’ ungrit my teeth
an’ I separate my eyebrows.
An’ I take my hands off my ear so I can hear.
I pull my thoughts together an’ I them in a knot.
Then look at what I’ve got. Nothin!

Would be hugely appreciated as I am preparing for an audition and the spoken lines in the middle is missing on the sheet music.

Thanks a lot!
