- Cheepnis
- by Frank Zappa
- (C) 1974 Munchkin Music (as of 1974), used without permission
- on *Roxy and Elsewhere* (which Ryko has probably re-released on CD)
-
- (_<stuff>_ = bold font <stuff>, spoken)
- (<STUFF> = all caps <stuff>, recorded at half speed, so you
- get that cheepnis kind've chipmunk effect, unless it's
- just there for EMPHASIS)
-
- I ate a hot dog
- It tasted real good
- Then I watched a movie
- From Hollywood
-
- (repeat)
-
- Little Miss Muffett on a squat by me
- Took a turn around, I said: _Can y'all see?_
- The little strings on the Giant Spider?
- The Zipper From The Black Lagoon?
- The vents by the tanks where the bubbles go up?
- (And the flaps on the side of the moon)
-
- The jelly & paint on the 40 watt bulb
- They use when the slime droozle off
- The rumples & the wrinkles in the cardboard rock
- And the canvas of the cave is too soft
-
- The suits & the hats & the tie's too wide
- And too short for the scientist man
- The chemistry lady with the roll-away mind
- And the monster just ate Japan
-
- _Ladies and gentlemen,
- _The monster,
- _Which the peasants in this area call FRUNOBULAX
- _(Apparently a very large poodle dog)
- _Has just been seen approaching The Power Plant
- _Bullets can't stop it
- _Rockets can't stop it
- _We may have to use NUCLEAR FORCE!_
-
- HERE COMES THAT POODLE DOG!
- BIG AS A BLIMP WITH A RHINESTONE COLLAR
- SNAPPIN' OFF THE TREES
- LIKE THEY WAS BONSAI'D ORNAMENTS ON A
- DRY-WOBBLE LANDSCAPE
- KEEP IT AWAY! DON'T LET THE POODLE BITE ME!
- WE CAN'T LET IT REPRODUCE! OH!
- SOMEBODY GET OUT THE PANTS!
-
- _The National Guard has formed up at the base
- of the mountain
- _And is attempting to lure the enourmous poodle
- toward the cave
- _Where they hope to destroy it with napalm
- _A thousand of the troopers are now lined up
- _and are calling to the monster...
- _Here Fido
- _Here Fido
- _Here Fido_
-
- GOT A GREAT BIG SLIMEY THING
- GOT A GREAT BIG HEAVY THING
- GOT A GREAT BIG POODLE THING
- GOT A GREAT BIG HAIRY THING
-
- (repeat)
-
- _C'mon! Everybody! Let's go!
- _Get the distilled water! Get the canned goods!
- _Get the toilet paper! You know we need it!_
-
- GO TO DA SHELTER
- MY BABY, MY BABY,
- GO TO DA SHELTER
- GO TO DA SHELTER
-
- (repeat)
-
- Little Miss Muffett on a squat by me,
- Can ya see the little strings danglin' down
- Makes the legs go wobble and th' mouth flop shut
- An' the HORRIBLE EYE, HORRIBLE EYE, HORRIBLE EYE
- Go rollin' around
-
- Can y'see it at all
- Can y'see it from here
- Can y'laugh till yer weak on yer knees
- If you can't, I'm sorry 'cause that's
- all I wanna know
- I need a little more cheepnis please
- Baby, I'm sorry 'cause it's all I wanna know
- I need a little more cheepnis please
- Baby, I'm sorry 'cause it's all I wanna know
- I need a little more cheepnis please
