Brown Moses:

Oh-oh! Wait a minute!
What?

(singing)

What wickedness id dis?
De way you^,s carryin^, on!
Dis pygmy I be clutchin^,
Have been lef^, out on de lawn!

De daddy were ne-GLIJ-ible,
De mama were de-FLATE-able,
De trauma to de imfunt
Be mostly not ne-GATE-able

Yo^, urgin^, to be exitin^,
Because of dem fla-min-i-go^,s
Be thoroughly perplexin^, him
Because of where yo^, petuh goes

If only you been ^,siderate
Erbout dis lil^, illiterate
I wouldna been trudgin^, cross de san^,
Fum way down yonder in E-gyp-lan^,

Dey callin^, me BROWN MOSES,
Fo^, dat id sho^,ly what I am,
Ancient an^, re-lij-er-mus
Solemn an^, pres-tig-i-mus

Wisdom reekin^, outa me
^,Long wif summa dis baby pee
^,Minds me of dem River Weeds
^,N all dem ignint Bible deeds

Growed up in de Pharoah place,
[ Brown Moses lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/f/frank-zappa/brown-moses/ ]
Lef^, de sucker in disgrace!
Some dem boys refuse to loin
Somthin^, smokin^,: Somthin^, boin!

Somethin^, borry: Somethin^, blue!
Best keeps a lil^, paper
In yo shoe!
Hear me when I^,s tellin^, you:
Leavin^, de midgit were
WRONG T^,DO!

It^,s a terr^,ble thang, done did to him
Left wit de crab-grass
Over his chin!

Sho^,ly one day he will grow,
^,N put some shit
In yo^, sack o^, woe

OL^, BROWN MOSES now have spoke!
Could ya lends me ^,bout a dollar?
I^,s a tiny bit broke

I likes my wine
I loves my gin
^,N fo a lil^, collateral,
I^,ll gives ya HIM!
A lil^, collateral,
I^,ll gives ya HIM!
A lil^, collateral,
I^,ll gives ya HIM!
I said a lil^, collateral,
A lil^, collateral,
A lil^, collateral,
A lil^, collateral,
A lil^, collateral,
I^,ll gives ya HIM!
I^,ll gives ya HIM!
TAKE A POMPADOUR, BABY!
