Ella Guru is the 4th track off of Captain Beefheart’s double album Trout Mask Replica. The song is apparently about a (possibly fictitious) female character named Ella Guru who is (according to Beefheart) very gorgeous.
[Verse]
Now, here she comes, walkin', lookin' like a zoo
(Hello, moon, hello, moon)
Hi, Ella, high Ella Guru
She knows all the colors that nature do
High Ella, high Ella Guru
High yella, high red, high blue, she blew
High Ella, high Ella Guru
She do what she mean and she do what she do
Got sumptin' fo' me, sumptin' for you
She sho' sumptin', she's young too
[Chorus]
Ella Guru, Ella Guru
Ella Guru, Ella Guru
[Bridge: The Mascara Snake & Captain Beefheart]
Ha, ha, right, right, just dig it
That's right, The Mascara Snake
Fast and bulbous, tight also
[Chorus]
Ella Guru, Ella Guru
Ella Guru, Ella Guru
Ella Guru
