Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Mose Allison performing his song "Your Mind Is On Vacation"
"Your Mind Is on Vacation" written by Mose Allison
Lyrics
"You're sitting there yakkin' right in my face
I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place
Y'know if silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is
Working overtime
You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
You're telling stories about the dames
You're always laughin' when things ain't funny
You try to sound like you're big money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is
Working overtime
You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Don't be making promises that you can't keep
If you don't like the song I'm singing, just grin and
Bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talking please try to make it rhyme
'Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working
Overtime"

Can't decide between "Brain on Drugs" or "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Lose" to describe this.
