Kinda crappy that you couldn't atleast give credit where credit was due for the user Freshie, who was the one who even transcribed this in the first place. Thanks for putting the lyrics together, but still, shame on you.

About this song: Re: Your Brains

This track by Jonathan Coulton is about a zombie co-worker promising to eat his friend’s brains. It is licenced (like all his tracks) under the creative commons licence which means you may add it to a movie, upload to youtube, distribute to friends, etc so long as his name is credited and that no profit is made.There was a large controversy between JoCo fans over whether a colon appears in the title of the song or not. This was caused by the absence of a colon both in the JoCo store and on the Thing a Week 2 CD case. Read more on Last.fm.
