[Intro: Napoleon Murphy Brock]
Ah-oh-oh-oh ah-oh-oh-oh ah-oh-oh-oh oh-oh
La-la la-la la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la
[Verse 1: Napoleon Murphy Brock]
She was the daughter of a wealthy Florentine Pogen
Read 'em 'n weep was her adjustable slogan
She was a debutante daisy with a color-note organ
Deep in the street she drove a '59 Morgan
[Chorus: Napoleon Murphy Brock & George Duke]
Woo-lah! That's the kinda step she takes
When her hot breaks hot brakes
That's the kinda sound she makes (Ooh, let go uh me)
When her crab cakes
[Post-Chorus: Napoleon Murphy Brock]
Tschktsh tsh, tschktsh tsh
Tschktsh tsh, tschktsh tsh
Tschktsh tsh, tschktsh tsh
[Verse 2: Napoleon Murphy Brock, Napoleon Murphy Brock & George Duke]
She didn't like it when her fan belt shrunk & got shorter (Ointment)
Battery leak could nearly cost her a quarter
She didn't want to stay home an' watch the pestle go mortar
Later she speaks on how Perellis might court her
[Bridge: Napoloen Murphy Brock, George Duke, Both]
Na-na-na, na-na-noo (Yeah)
Na-na-na, yah-ah-hoo (Yeah, yeah)
Na-na-na, na-na-noo (Na-na, na-na)
Na-na-na, yah-ah-hoo (Na-na, na-na)
She was the daughter
Ah-ah-ahhh
Of a wealthy
Florentine Pogen
Po-oh, wo-oh-oh
Po-oh, wo-oh-oh
Po-oh, wo-oh-oh
Ga-ya-ee-annnn
Read 'em 'n weep
(Take a booger home with you to)
Read 'em 'n weep
(Take a booger home with you to)
Read 'em 'n weep
[Outro: Frank Zappa, Napoleon Murphy Brock & George Duke, Frank Zappa]
Chester's go-rilla

She say
Hratche-plche
