Lyrics Brown Moses - Frank Zappa

Brown Moses

Oh-oh!
wait a minute!
What?
What wickedness Id dis?
De way yous carryin on!
Dis pygmy I be clutchin
Have been lef out on de lawn!
De daddy were ne-glij-ible,
De mama were de-flate-able,
De trauma to de imfunt
Be mostly not ne-gate-able
Yo urgin to be exitin
Because of dem fla-min-i-gos
Be thoroughly perplexin him
Because of where yo petuh goes
If only you been siderate
Erbout dis lil illiterate
I wouldna been trudgin cross de san
Fum way down yonder in e-gyp-lan
Dey callin me brown moses,
Fo dat Id sholy what I am,
Ancient an re-lij-er-mus
Solemn an pres-tig-i-mus
Wisdom reekin outa me long wif summa dis baby pee
minds me of dem river weeds
n all dem ignint Bible deeds
Growed up in de pharaoh place,
Lef de sucker in disgrace!
Some dem boys refuse to loin
Somthin smokin: somthin boin!
Somethin borry: somethin blue!
Best keeps a lil paper
In yo shoe!
Hear me when is tellin you:
Leavin de midgit were
Wrong tdo!
Its a terrble thang, done did to him
Left wit de crab-grass
Over his chin!
Sholy one day he will grow,
n put some shit
In yo sack o woe
Ol brown moses now have spoke!
Could ya lends me bout a dollar?
Is a tiny bit broke
I likes my wine
I loves my gin
n fo a lil collateral,
Ill gives ya him!
A lil collateral,
Ill gives ya him!
A lil collateral,
Ill gives ya him!
I said a lil collateral,
A lil collateral,
A lil collateral,
A lil collateral,
A lil collateral,
Ill gives ya him!
Ill gives ya him!
