Some dem boys refuse to loin somthin' boin! Somethin' blue! Best keeps a lil' paper In yo shoe! Leavin' de midgit were wrong t'do! It's a terr'ble thang, done did to him Left wit de crab-grass over his chin! Sho'ly 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? I's a tiny bit broke I likes my wine i loves my gin 'N fo a lil' collateral i'll gives ya HIM! A lil' collateral i'll gives ya HIM! A lil' collateral i'll gives ya HIM! I said a lil' collateral a lil' collateral A lil' collateral a lil' collateral A lil' collateral i'll gives ya HIM! I'll gives ya HIM! Take a pompadour, baby! --- Brown Moses - Frank Zappa
