THE MAN FROM UTOPIA MEETS MARY LOU
Well, This is the story of a man who lived in Utopia This is the story of a man who lived in Utopia He was a funny little fella with feet just like I showed ya
Well, he had a girl, her name was Mary Lou Well, he had a girl, her name was Mary Lou She did everything for him that she could do
But still, still, still he wouldn't treat her right But still, still, still he wouldn't treat her right He would leave in the morning, don't come back till late at night
Ahh, Mary Lou (Mary Lou, Mary Lou) Oh child you big fool (big fool, big fool) Ahh, Mary Lou (Mary Lou, Mary Lou) Oh child you big fool (big fool, big fool) You did everything for him that you could do (Mary Lou, Mary Lou)
I'm going to tell you a story about Mary Lou I mean the kind of girl who make a fool of you She'd make a young man groan and a poor man pain The way she took my money was a cryin' shame Mary Lou -- she took my watch and chain Mary Lou -- she took my diamond ring Mary Lou -- she took my Cadillac car Jumped in my Kitty and drove afar
Well, she picked up from Georgia, moved to Kalamazoo Made her a fortune outta fools like you Meet her a rich man who was married and had two kids She stoked that cat till he flipped his lid Mary Lou -- she took my watch and chain Mary Lou -- she took my diamond ring Mary Lou -- she took my Cadillac car Jumped in my Kitty and drove afar
Well, she came back to town about a week ago Told me she was sorry she had hurt me so I had a '55 Ford and a two dollar bill They way she took that man she gave me a chill Mary Lou -- she took my watch and chain Mary Lou -- she took my diamond ring Mary Lou -- she took my Cadillac car Jumped in my Kitty and drove afar
Oh child you big fool (big fool, big fool) Ahh, Mary Lou (Mary Lou, Mary Lou) Oh child you big fool (big fool, big fool) You did everything for him that you could do (Mary Lou, Mary Lou)
You did everything for him that you could do You did everything for him that you could do You did everything for him that you could do You did everything for him that you could do
Frank Zappa from The Man from Utopia ___________________________________
cosmik debris
The mystery man came over And he said "I'm outta sight!" He said for a nominal service charge I could reach nirvana tonight If I was ready, willing and able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of His pressing affairs and devote His attention to me
But I said "Look here brother who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Look here brother, don't waste your time on me"
The mystery man got nervous And he fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe And he whipped out a shaving kit Now I thought it was a razor And a can of foaming goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin' his box won't do With the oil of Aphrodite, and the dust of the Grand Wazoo He said "You might not believe this, little fella But it'll cure your asthma too"
And I said "Look here brother Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway? Look here brother, don't waste your time on me" *(Don't waste your time)*
"I've got troubles of my own", I said "And you can't help me out So, take your meditations and your preparations And ram it up your snout!" "But I got the crystal ball", he said And held it to the ligh So I snatched it, all away from him And I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head So I looked like I was deep I said some mumbo-jumbo, then I told him he was going to sleep I robbed his rings and pocketwatch And everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn't even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future, then As long as he was hanging around I said "The price of meat has just gone up And your old lady has just gone down!"
And I said "Look here brother-who you Jiving with that cosmik debris? Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? Don't you know, you could make more money as a butcher? So, don't waste your time on me" Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me

i love zappa, he can put music together like no one else can, when i listen to his solos i tear up. he is a music genius. hes my favorate musician. shut up n play yer guitar & son of shut up n play yer guitar & joes garage are my favoriate of his albums. sorry, this may be a bit off topic, but ive never met another person in the flesh who really appreciated zappa. he has definetly influenced my guitar style the most.

You've never met my dad, then, apparently.. hehe
I've never really heard his stuff, but I hear that he is quite the composer and quite a master of polyrhythms.. I'll have to take a listen sometime. Peace.
