Stink-Foot - Frank Zappa

In the dark

Where all the fevers grow

Under the water

Where the shark bubbles blow

In the morning

By your radio

Do the walls close in to suffocate ya

You ain't got no friends

And all the others they hate ya

'Cause the life you been leading gotta go

Well let me straighten you out

How 'bout a place I know

(Get your shoes and socks on people it's right around the corner)

Out through the night and the whispering breezes

To the place where they keep the imaginary diseases

Out through the night and the whispering breezes

To the place where they keep the imaginary diseases

This has got to be the disease for you

Now scientists call this disease Brohm-a-drosis

But us regular folks who might wear tennis shoes

Or an occasional python boot

Know this exquisite little inconvenience by the name of

STINK-FOOT

You know

My python boot is too tight

I couldn't get it off last night

A week went by

And now it's July

I finally got it off

And my girlfriend cried YOU GOT STINK-FOOT

Stink-foot darlin'

Your Stink-foot

Puts a hurt on my nose

Stink-foot stink-foot I ain't lyin'

Can you rinse it off do you suppose

Here Fido Fido mpt mpt mpt come here little puppy

Bring the slippers

Arf arf arf

(C-R-A-S-H)

Huhm HAH HAH HAH hmhmhm

SICK

Well then Fido got up off the floor and he rolled over

And he looked me straight in the eye

And you know what he said

"Once upon a time somebody say to me"

This is the dog talkin' now:

"What is your conceptual continuity "

"Well I told 'em right then" Fido said

"It should be easy to see

The crux of the biscuit

Is the apostrophe"

Well you know the man that was talking to the dog

Looked at the dog and he said

Sort of staring in disbelief

"You can't say that"

He said

"It doesn't and you can't I won't and it don't

It hasn't it isn't it even ain't and it shouldn't

It couldn't"

He told him "No no no"

I told him "Yes yes yes"

I said "I do it all the time

Ain't this boogie a mess"

The poodle bites the poodle chews it
