Montana (Whipping Floss) Songtext
von Frank Zappa

Say that again, please

(Whipping post)

Whipping post?
Okay, just a second
(You know it, guys?)
Oh, sorry we don′t know that one, anything else?
Hum me a few bars of it, please
Just show me how it goes, please
Just sing, sing me Whipping Post and then maybe we'll play it with you
Thank you very much, and now

Judging from the way you sang it, it must be a John Cage composition, right?

Here we go, Montana
(One, two, one, two, three, four)


I might be movin′ to, hold it, hold it
We can't possibly start this song of like that
Good God, that's inexcusable
What happened to you last night?
(George, has a tape of it)
George, has a tape of it, okay
We′ll use that in the second show

Ready? Montana
Wait a minute, Whipping Post
No Montana
(One, two, one, two, three)

It′s too fast for you
(One, two, one, two, three, four)

I might be movin' to Helsinki soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental floss

Raisin′ it up
Waxin' it down
Tying it to the whipping post
In the middle of town

But by myself I wouldn′t have no boss
'Cause I′d be raisin' my lonely
Whipping post


(Raisin' my lonely)
(Whipping post)
(Raisin′ my lonely)
(Whipping post)

Well, I just might grow me some thongs
But I′d leave the heavy stuff to somebody else
How 'bout Chester?

And then I would
Get a person
Tie them up
To the whipping post
And beat the living shit out of ′em until that guy in the audience was satisfied

But by myself I wouldn't have no boss
′Cause I'd be raisin′ my lonely
Whipping post floss

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental floss tycoon
(How unique)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mental toss flykune
(Yes, it′s such a ballad in this temple)

Little booger bear
Boogers everywhere

And now for the thrilling conclusion to that song
