    1. Camarillo Brillo - 3:59^>

    Frank Zappa - vocal


    She had that
    Camarillo brillo
    Flamin' out along her head,
    I mean her Mendocino bean-o
    By where some bugs had made it red

    She ruled the Toads
    of the Short Forest
    And every newt in Idaho
    And every cricket who had chorused
    By the bush in Buffalo

    She said she was
    A Magic Mama
    And she could throw a mean Tarot
    And carried on without a comma
    That she was someone I should know

    She had a snake for a pet
    And an amulet
    And she was breeding a dwarf
    But she wasn't done yet
    She had gray-green skin
    A doll with a pin
    I told her she was awright
    But I couldn't come in
    (I couldn't come in right then...)

    And so she wandered
    Trough the door-way
    Just like a shadow from the tomb
    She said her stereo was four-way
    An' I'd just love it in her room

    Well, I was born
    To have adventure
    So I just followed up the steps
    Right past her fuming incense stencher
    To where she hung her castanets

    She stripped away
    Her ranchid poncho
    An' laid out naked by the door
    We did it till we were un-concho
    An' it was useless any more

    She had a snake for a pet
    And an amulet
    And she was breeding a dwarf
    But she wasn't done yet
    She had gray-green skin
    A doll with a pin
    I told her she was awright
    But I couldn't come in
    (actually, I was very busy then)

    And so she wandered
    Trough the door-way
    Just like a shadow from the tomb
    She said her stereo was four-way
    An' I'd just love it in her room

    Well, I was born
    To have adventure
    So I just followed up the steps
    Right past her fuming incense stencher
    To where she hung her castanets

    She said she was
    A Magic Mama
    And she could throw a mean Tarot
    And carried on without a comma
    That she was someone I should know

    (Is that a real poncho...I mean
    Is that a Mexican poncho
    or is that a Sears poncho?
    Hmmm...no foolin' ...)



    2. I'm The Slime - 3:35^<>

    Frank Zappa - vocal
    Kin Vassy - announcer
    Tina Turner & The Ikettes - backing vocals

    I am gross and perverted
    I'm obsessed 'n deranged
    I have existed for years
    But very little had changed
    I am the tool of the Government
    And industry too
    For I am destined to rule
    And regulate you

    I may be vile and pernicious
    But you can't look away
    I make you think I'm delicious
    With the stuff that I say
    I am the best you can get
    Have you guessed me yet?
    I am the slime oozin' out
    From your TV set

    You will obey me while I lead you
    And eat the garbage that I feed you
    Until the day that we don't need you
    Don't got for help...no one will heed you
    Your mind is totally controlled
    It has been stuffed into my mold
    And you will do as you are told
    Until the rights to you are sold

    That's right, folks..
    Don't touch that dial

    Well, I am the slime from your video
    Oozin' along on your livin'room floor

    I am the slime from your video
    Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go



    3. Dirty Love - 2:59^<>

    Frank Zappa - vocal
    Tina Turner & The Ikettes - backing vocals

    Give me
    Your dirty love
    Like you might surrender
    To some dragon in your dreams

    Give me
    Your dirty love
    Like a pink donation
    To the dragon in your dreams

    I don't need your sweet devotion
    I don't want your cheap emotion
    Just whip me up some dragon lotion
    For your dirty love

    Give me
    Your dirty love
    Like some tacky little pamphlet
    In your daddy's bottom drawer

    Give me
    Your dirty love
    I don't believe you have ever seen
    That book before

    I don't need no consolation
    I don't want your reservation
    I only got one destination
    An' that's your dirty love

    Give me
    Your dirty love
    Just like your mama
    Make her fuzzy poodle do

    Give me
    Your dirty love
    The way your mama
    Make that nasty poodle chew

    I'll ignore your cheap aroma
    And your little-bo-peep diploma
    I'll just put you in a coma
    With some dirty love

    THE POODLE BITES!
    (Come on, Frenchie)
    THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
    (Snap it!)
    THE POODLE BITES!
    (Come on, Frenchie)
    THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
    (Snap it!)



    4. Fifty-Fifty - 6:11^<>

    Ricky Lancelotti - Vocal


    Well, my dandruff is loose
    An' my breath is chartreuse
    I know I ain't cute
    An' my voice is ka-poot

    But that's awright people
    I'm just crazy enough to sing to you
    Any old way

    I figure the odds be fifty-fifty
    I just might have some thing to say

    Ain't gonna sing you no love song
    How my heart is all sore
    Will not beg your indulgence
    'Cause you heard it before

    But that's awright people
    I'm just crazy enough to sing to you
    Any old way

    I figure the odds be fifty-fifty
    I just might have some thing to say

    I have taken your time
    I have sung you my song
    Ain't no great revelation
    But it wasn't too long

    But that's awright people
    I'm just crazy enough to sing to you
    Any old way

    I figure the odds be fifty-fifty
    I just might have some thing to say



    5. Zomby Woof - 5:10^<>

    Frank Zappa - Vocal
    Ricky Lancelotti - Vocal
    Tina Turner & The Ikettes - backing vocals

    Three hunderd years ago
    Thought I might get some sleep
    Stretched myself out onna antique bed
    An' my spirit did a midnight creep

    You know I'll never sleep no more

    To me it seem that is just ain't wise

    Didja ever wake up in the mornin'
    With a ZOMBY WOOF behind your eyes

    I am the ZOMBY WOOF
    I'm the creature all the ladies been
    Talkin' about

    I am the ZOMBY WOOF
    They all seek for shelter when I come chargin' out
    Here I'm is, the ZOMBY WOOF

    Tellin' you all the Zomby troof
    Here I'm is...

    Reety-awrighty, he da ZOMBY WOOF
    Reety-awrighty, he da ZOMBY WOOF

    The said aw-reety
    An' they was aw-righty
    An' I was a Zomby for you, little lady...

    I got a great big pointed fang
    Which is my Zomby Toof
    My right foot is bigger than my other one is
    Like a reg'lar Zomby Hoof
    If I raid your dormitorium
    Don't try to remain aloof...

    I might snatch you up screamin' through the window all nekkid
    An' do it to you on the roof, don't mess with the
    ZOMBY WOOF

    I am about as evil as a Boogie Man can be!

    Tellin' you all the Zomby Troof
    Here I'm is, the ZOMBY WOOF

    Tellin' you all the Zomby Troof
    Here I'm is, the ZOMBY WOOF



    6. Dinah-Moe-Hum - 6:04^<>

    Frank Zappa - Vocal
    Kin Vassy - Vocal
    Sal Marquez - Vocal
    Tina Turner & The Ikettes - backing vocals


    I couldn't say where she's coming' from,
    But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm

    She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
    I got a forty dollar bill say you can't make me cum
    (Y'jes can't do it)

    She made a bet with her sister who's a little dumb
    She could prove it any time all men was scum

    I don't mind that she called me a bum,
    But I knew right away she was really gonna cum
    (So I got down to it)

    I whipped off her bloomers'n stiffened my thumb
    An' applied rotation on her sugar plum

    I poked'n stroked till my wrist got numb
    But I still didn't hear no Dinah-Moe Humm,
    Dinah-Moe Humm

    Dinah-Moe Humm
    Dinah-Moe Humm
    Where this Dinah-Moe
    Comin' from
    Done spent three hours
    An' I ain't got a crumb
    From the Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe
    From the Dinah-Moe Humm

    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it
    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it
    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it
    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it
    'Cause I can't get into it
    Unless I get out of it
    An' I gotta get out of it
    Before I get into it
    'Cause I never get into it
    Unless I get out of it
    An' I gotta be out of it
    To get myself into it

    (She looked over at me with a glazed eye
    And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area
    And she said...)

    Just get me wasted
    An' you're half-way there
    'Cause if my mind's tore up
    Then my body don't care

    I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin
    An' said my-my-my
    What sort of thing
    Might this lady get high upon?

    I checked out her sister
    Who was holdin' the bet
    An' wondered what kind of trip
    The young lady was on

    The forty dollar bill didn't matter no more
    When her sister got nekkid an' laid on the floor
    She said Dinah-Moe might win the bet
    But she could use a little ------- if I wasn't done yet

    I told her...
    Just because the sun
    Want a place in the sky
    No reason to assume
    I wouldn't give her a try

    So I pulled on her hair
    Got her legs in the air
    An' asked if she had any cooties on there

    (Whaddya mean cooties! No cooties on me!)

    She was buns-up kneelin'
    BUNS UP!
    I was wheelin' an dealin'
    WHEELIN' AN' DEALIN' AN OOOOH!
    She surrended to the feelin'
    SHE SWEETLY SURRENDERED
    An' she started in to squealin'

    Dinah-Moe watched from the edge of the bed
    With her lips just a-twitchin' an' her face gone red
    Some drool rollin' down
    From the edge of her chin
    While she spied the condition
    Her sister was in
    She quivered 'n quaked
    An' clutched at herself
    While her sister made a joke
    'Bout her mental health
    'Till Dinah-Moe finally
    Did give in
    But I told her
    All she really needed
    Was some discipline...

    Kiss my aura...Dora...
    M-M-M...it's real angora
    Would y'all like some more-a?
    Right here on the flora?
    An' how 'bout you, Fauna?
    Y'wanna?

    MMM...sound like y'might be chokin' on somethin'

    Did you say you want some more?
    Well, here's some more...

    MMM, sure...listen
    D'you think I could interest you
    In a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers?

    MMM...tweezers!
    Here, lemme sterilize 'em...
    Gimme your lighter...

    I couldn't say where she's coming' from,
    But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm

    She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
    I got a forty dollar bill say you can't make me cum
    (Y'jes can't do it)

    I whipped off her bloomers'n stiffened my thumb
    An' applied rotation on her sugar plum

    I poked'n stroked till my wrist got numb
    An' you know I heard some Dinah-Moe Humm,
    Dinah-Moe Humm

    Dinah-Moe
    Dinah-Moe
    Dinah-Moe
    Dinah-Moe

    Tina Turner & The Ikettes - backing vocals


    I might be movin' to Montana soon
    Just to raise me up a crop of
    Dental Floss

    Raisin' it up
    Waxen it down
    In a little white box
    I can sell uptown

    By myself I wouldn't
    Have no boss,
    But I'd be raisin' my lonely
    Dental Floss

    Raisin' my lonely
    Dental Floss

    Well I just might grow me some bees
    But I'd leave the sweet stuff
    For somebody else...but then, on the other hand I'd

    Keep the wax
    N' melt it down
    Pluck some Floss
    N' swish it aroun'

    I'd have me a crop
    An' it'd be on top (that's why I'M movin' to Montana)

    Movin' to Montana soon
    Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
    Movin' to Montana soon
    Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

    I'm pluckin' the ol'
    Dennil Floss
    That's growin' on the prairie
    Pluckin' the floss!
    I plucked all day an' all nite an' all
    Afternoon...

    I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
    (His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
    He's a good hoss
    Even though
    He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
    Blanket on anyway
    He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
    Blanket on anyway
    Any way

    I'm pluckin' the ol'
    Dennil Floss
    Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
    I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
    I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

    I'm gonna find me a horse
    Just about this big
    An' ride him all along the border line

    With a
    Pair of heavy-duty
    Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
    Every other wrangler would say
    I was mighty grand

    By myself I wouldn't
    Have no boss
    But I'd be raisin' my lonely
    Dental Floss

    Raisin' my lonely
    Dental Floss
    Raisin' my lonely
    Dental Floss

    Well I might
    Ride along the border
    With my tweezers gleamin'
    In the moon-lighty night

    And then I'd
    Get a cuppa cawfee
    N' give my foot a push...
    Just me 'n the pymgy pony
    Over the Dennil Floss Bush

    N' then I might just
    Jumb back on
    An' ride
    Like a cowboy
    Into the dawn to Montana

    Movin' to Montana soon
    (Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
    Movin' to Montana soon
    (Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
