When Big Joan Sets Up

Hoy, hoy When Big Joan comes out, her arms are too small Her head's like a ball She's tied off her horse And galloped off into the moonbeams She pulled up her blouse, compared her navel to the moon I dig my life for a while When big Joan sets up Her hands are too small She's too fat to go out in the daylight So she rolls around all night I just saw the thread with a drooped body I'll set up with you, big Joan I'm too fat to go out in the daylight I'll stay up all night I won't droop if you won't talk about your hands bein' too small You know something's happenin' or you wouldn't have come out like you did She ain't built for goin' naked So she can't wear any new clothes or go to the beach They laugh at her body 'cause her hands are too small When big Joan sits up, her hands are too small She's out of reach A turquoise scarf and silver rolled up over a Merc Montclair I'll sit up with you Big Joan I'm too fat to go out in the daytime I'll stay up all night If you promise not to talk about your hands bein' too small Hoy, hoy, is she a boy? --- When Big Joan Sets Up - Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band
