Lyrics Frank Zappa – The Crab–Grass Baby

Crab-Grass Baby:
Stroke me pompadour, pompaduooor, pompaduooor, pompaduooor. Stroke me pompadour, father. Stroke it nicely while I tell you about the problems I am having with my car an my girlfriend. Ooo-wo-woo, the white man’s burden!

Her and her girlfriend used to go out and booze it up and tear up the upholstery; rip the seats completely out, and so I got a fifty-six Olds. About the time I got it running decently, she got in it and wrecked the trans… tore it completely up, so I had to get another Oldsmobile (either that or go to Tijuana or go to BROWN MOSES way down in Egypt-Land). It’s so hard on a child when his car is fucked up. Buy me a Volvo, faaather.

Harry-As-A-Boy:

Crab-Grass Baby:
One-Adam-Twelve… see the enormous white pompadour! Ha-Ha-ha-ho! That’s a good one! Hoo-hoo-hoo.

Harry-As-A-Boy:
He’s so young, and yet, SO WISE!

Crab-Grass Baby:
I pooped my pants, pooped my pants, pooped my pants! I went doody, faaather, sob-sob-sob-sob-sob.

Harry-As-A-Boy:
His vocabulary is astonishing!

Crab-Grass Baby:
So what if you suck a little cock every once in a while?

Harry-As-A-Boy:
Ohhh… I’m so lucky to have a son like this…

Crab-Grass Baby:
Barf me out… gag me with a Volvo!

Harry-As-A-Boy:
I can’t wait to show him to all the fellas down at the MINE-SHAFT!

Crab-Grass Baby:
Take me to the movies. Buy me a balloon. Stroke me pompadour!

Harry-As-A-Boy:
Look! Look! Look at the pecker on him, wouldja! Goodjy-goodjy-goodjy-goo! Hoo hoo hoo!

Thing-Fish:
