| Master, master
|
| This is recorded through a fly’s ear
|
| And you have to have a fly’s eye to 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 a bottle of wine
|
| Put me on the white hook
|
| Back in the fat rack, Shadrach e-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 mothership, the mothership
|
| The brothers hid under the hood
|
| From the blimp, the blimp
|
| Children, stop your nursing unless you’re rendering fun
|
| The mothership, the mothership
|
| The mothership’s the one
|
| The blimp, the blimp
|
| The tape’s a trip, it’s a trailin' tail
|
| It’s traipse’n along behind
|
| The blimp, the blimp
|
| The nose has a crimp
|
| The nose is the blimp, the blimp
|
| It blows the air, the snoot isn’t fair
|
| Look up in the sky -- there’s a dirigible there
|
| The drazy hoops whir
|
| You can see them just as they were
|
| All the people stare
|
| And the girls' knees tremble
|
| And run and wave their hands
|
| And run their hands over
|
| The blimp the blimp
|
| «Daughter, don’t you dare!»
|
| «Oh momma, who cares?
|
| It’s the blimp, it’s the blimp!»
|
| (Hello)
|
| Hello
|
| (Did you get it?)
|
| Sure did
|
| It’s beautiful
|
| I think that we have enough on the tape to uh
|
| Just use that as is for the album
|
| Ok, I’m gonna listen to it back now I gotta go back to work |
