A detailed analysis of the above Frank Zappa composition.
LYRICS
Other Official Versions:
Mothermania (1969)
You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 2 (1988)
The Lumpy Money Project/Object (2009)
Another brilliant 3/4 melody! The Idiot Boy! (snorks)

covered in green
Very musical snork here. Note how bare the orchestration is! Guitar and voices suspended in air until
warming his pew...
