Cheepnis Songtext
von Frank Zappa

I ate a hot dog
It tasted real good
Then I watched a movie
From Hollywood

I ate a hot dog
It tasted real good
Then I watched a movie
From Hollywood

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 and paint on the 40 Watt bulb
They use when the slime droozle off
The rumples and the wrinkles in the cardboard rock
While the canvas of the cave is too soft


The suits and the hats and the tie's too wide
And too short for the scientist man
The chemistry lady with the roll-away mind
While the monster just ate Japan

Ladies and gentlemen
The monster
Which the peasants in this area call Frunobulax
Has just been seen approaching the power plant
Bullets can′t stop it
Rockets can't stop it
Grenades can't stop it
We may have to use nuclear force
Everyone is advised to go to the shelter at once

C′mon! Hang on! Everybody! Come this way!
Form a line! Form a line!

Go to the shelter
My baby, my baby
Go to the shelter
Go to the shelter

Go to the shelter
My baby, my baby
Go to the shelter
Go to the shelter


Little Miss Muffett on a squat by me
Can ya see the little string danglin′ down
Makes the legs go wabble and the mouth flop shut
And the horrible eye, and the horrible eye, the horrible eye
Go rollin' around
Can you see it all
Can you see it from here
Can you laugh ′til you're weak on your knees

If you can′t, I'm sorry ′cause that's
All I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis
Baby, I'm sorry ′cause it′s all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis
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
Baby, I'm sorry 'cause it′s all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis
Baby, I′m sorry 'cause it′s all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis
Baby, I'm sorry ′cause it's all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis
Baby, I′m sorry 'cause it's all I wanna know
I need a little more cheepnis
Thank you, thank you
