Текст Frank Zappa – Why Don’t You Like Me?

includes quotes from Marche Funebre (Chopin) and Billie Jean (Jackson)

«He’s white, Jim . . . »

Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?

«I think you’re a jerk! I’m moving from you!»
«Make me a sandwich.»
«Moving to Venice.»
«I’ll be black.»
(Jack! What?)
«Still white, Jim . . . »

I hate my mother
I hate my father
I AM my sister . . .
And Jermaine is a negro!
A NEGRO! A NEGRO! A NEGRO!

«I thought he looked good — what happened to you?»
«Please read this pamphlet.»
«I’m so BAD!»

You take the monkey, I’ll take the llama,
We’ll have a party: get me a Pepsi —
Michael is Janet, Janet is Michael —
I’m so confused now —
Who is Diana?

He’s oxygenated
His nose is deflated
And he thinks he looks good to you
He thinks he looks good to you

Ike
Oh, I’m sorry . . .

This is supposed to be the part where I . . . name people who are not . . . related in any particular way to . . . Michael Jackson . . . so . . . oh, let’s see now, who could it be . . . uh . . . What’s your name . . . ? His name is Bob? Bob is not the illegitimate son of Michael Jackson, take it from me . . .

Billy Jean is not Mr. Bob
Arnold Silvestri . . . (Ha ha ha!)
Billy Jean isn’t Arnold Silvestri
Jeanne Kirkpatrick . . .
Billy Jean is not Kirkpatrick
Lando Calrissian . . .

Give me oxygen
Give me oxygen
Give me oxygen
Box o’ turds

FZ
That’s right, a box o’ turds!
