Comments:

Touring versions from Foggy G's We're Only In It For The Touring:

1973
This single performance occurs during the same show as the single performance of "Babbette", and as Jon Naurin points out in the latter's song description, the words to WTUPOYB are essentially sung over the music of "Babette".

1975-76
Essentially performed as on WOIIFTM, allowing for the obvious differences in instrumentation, and with some purposefully overdramatic singing. This tune is part three of the awesome WOIIFTM medley, and serves as an excellent precursor to the lengthy "Chunga's Revenge" jams.

I have no idea when it was originally released, but Steve Allen released a
children's music album called "How to Think". One of the first songs on it
goes, in part, like this:

-=-=-

Which do you think
Is the most important part?
Some say the eyes
Some say the heart

Some say the mouth
And some others say the nose
Some say the bones
On which you hang your clothes

Some say the lungs
For the air we breathe
And if you like to eat
You might say the teeth

Some say the feet
And some people say the hands
But I say the brain
Because it makes the plans

The brain is very necessary
Cause it makes the plans
