Master master This is recorded thru uh flies ear 'n you have t' have uh flies eye t' see it It's the thing that's gonna make Captain Beefheart And his magic band fat Frank it's the big hit It's the blimp It's the blimp Frank It's the blimp
When I see you floatin' down the gutter I'll give you uh bottle uh wine Put me on the white hook Back in the fat rack Shad rack ee shack The sumptin' hoop the sumptin' hoop The blimp the blimp The drazy hoops the drazy hoops They're camp they're camp Tits tits the blimp the blimp The mother ship the mother ship The brothers hid under their hood From the blimp the blimp Children stop yer nursin' unless yer renderin' fun The mother ship the mother ship The mother ship's the one The blimp the blimp The tapes uh trip it's uh trailin' tail It's traipse'n along behind the blimp the blimp The nose has uh crimp The nose is the blimp the blimp It blows the air the snoot isn't fair Look up in the sky there's uh dirigible there The drazy hoops whir You can see them just as they were All the people stir 'n the girls knees trembles 'n run 'n wave their hands 'n run their hands over the blimp the blimp Daughter don't yuh dare Oh momma who cares It's the blimp it's the blimp.

The bvand playing on that track is The Mothers. The instrumental bed bhind Antennae Jimmy Semen's monologue was eventually released by Zappa on vol. 5 of the Stage series as "Charles Ives."
The drazy hoops! The drazy hoops!
In the 8th Grade, our English teacher had us bring in our favorite poem and read it in front of the class. I picked "Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish." The class already thought I was nuts, and this confirmed it.
For whatever reason, I didn't get laid until much later in life.....

On the whole, I'd rather hear John "Drumbo" French play by himself than Jimmy Carl Black and Artie Tripp III (and I'm a huge Zappa fan)
