Lyrics Frank Zappa – Very Distraughtening

Text:

includes a fragment of Ronnie Sings? and a quote from Merry-Go-Round (Fischer)

Ronnie Williams
Ba-bah-bahdily
Spider

Oh!
John
That one again.
Spider
It’s a little pig… with wings
Pig With Wings
EE…
Gross Man
I hear you’ve been having trouble with pigs and ponies!

Left channel:
Calvin
To… just the opposite… going around to the other direction

Right channel:
Calvin
How ’bout us, don’t we get any?
Gail
We don’t get any…
Calvin
That’s very distraughtening
Gail
We don’t get any because we’re otherwise

Spider
Everything in the universe is… is… is made of one element, which is a note, a single note. Atoms are really vibrations, you know, which are extensions of THE BIG NOTE, everything’s one note. Everything, even the ponies. The note, however, is the ultimate power, but see, the pigs don’t know that, the ponies don’t know that.
Monica
You mean just we know that?
Spider

Right!

Spider
«Merry Go Round! Merry Go Round! Do-Do-Do-Do Do-Do-Do Do-Do-Do!» and they called that «doing their thing.»
John
Oh yeah, that’s what doing your thing is!
Spider
The thing is to put a motor in yourself.
