A Little Green Rosetta (Zappa Frank)

(after the song ends) This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... As you can see, MUSIC can get you pretty fucked up...Take a tip from Joe, do like he did, hock your imaginary guitar and get a good job...Joe did, and he's a happy guy now, on the day shift at the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully-charged icing anointment utensil. And every time a nice little muffin comes by on the belt, he poots forth... And if this doesn't convince you that MUSIC causes BIG TROUBLE...then maybe I should turn off my plastic' megaphone and sing the last song on the album in my regular voice... SCENE EIGHTEEN A LITTLE GREEN ROSETTA CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER: A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta You'll make a muffin betta With a green rosetta A little green rosetta A tiny green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta You'll make a muffin betta Betta It's really getting betta It's betta, it's betta With a green rosetta Green rositti A little green rositti It's really, really meaty A little green rositti Betta, betta, (Hey, really out there...really good) It's really getting betta It's betta, it's betta With a green rosetta Setta, setta (Good God, give the drummer some) Green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta (Setta, setta, setta, etc....) (Make a muffin, make a muffin, make a muffin, Make a muffin betta, make a muffin betta, etc....) With a green rosetta A little green rosetta (Etc....) Good God! You're really jammin ! Now the Reggae version, hey, for the People in the Third World... we haven't forgotten anybody on this song.. .for all of you French people...who think that you re outta sight... And for the people in Spain...who think the French people are where its at... And for the people in Mongolia who always wanted to go to Spain for a vacation... And for those of you in Taiwan who got chumped, this chorus is for you: (Rang Tang Ding Dong, I am the Japanese Sandman... Take eight...) Green rosetta Green rosetta A little green rosetta (Against the Reggae beat, though... No, it's still Reggae, but it s all backwards) A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta You'll make a muffin betta (Etc., etc., etc...) Now you see, some places in the Third World it might be difficult to dance to this because the kerosene record player is not a very efficient device.. .And a lot of times they run out of, they run out of spunk right in the middle of the chorus... Causing the song to sound like this... A little green rosetta However we continue in spite of the fact that the fuel may be low on your record player. We suggest that in places like the Fourth World where things are really tough that you keep the record player going by rubbing two sticks together. And if all else fails, throw the record away... build your own green rosetta...try this recipe: Well start with a lump of grass... the grass bone connected to the ankle bone...the knee bone connected to the wishbone...and then everybody moves to New York and goes to a party with Warren. Hey! And we've flown in, at great expense, (triple scale, no less, ladies and gentlemen), Steve Gad's clone to play the out-chorus on this song...lies really outa-site, in spite of thefact that the click track is totally irrelevant to what he's doing now. I in listening to the click, yes I'm suffering with the click track right now...this guy is totally out of sync with it, but what the fuck. Ed Mann will call him up later, show him the sign. Okay Vinnie, where is five? They're pretty good musicians They re pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians But it don't make no difference If they're good musicians Because anybody who would buy this record Doesn't give a fuck if there's good musicians On it Because this is a stupid song AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta You make a muffin betta With a little green rosetta A little green rosetta Rosetta, rosetta, rosetta (etc., etc., etc....) AL MALKIN. Zetta..
