let's make the water turn black
zappa, frank
now believe me when i tell you that my song is really true
i want everyone to listen and believe
it's about some little people from a long time ago
and all the things the neighbors didn't know
early in the morning daddy dinky went to work
selling lamps & chairs to san ber'dino squares
and i still remember mama with her apron & her pad
feeding all the boys at ed's cafe!
whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day. and all the while on a shelf in the shed: kenny's little creatures on display!
ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
while kenny & his buddies had a game out in the back: let's make the water turn black
we see them after school in a world of their own
the neighbors on the right sat & watched them every night
whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day. and all the while on a shelf in the shed: kenny's little creatures on display!
ronnie's in the army now & kenny's taking pills
oh! how they yearn to see a bomber burn!
wait till the fire turns green!
this would be a little bit of vocal teen-age heaven
