Frank Zappa - Camarillo Brillo lyrics

[Frank Zappa - Camarillo Brillo lyrics]

She had that Camarillo brillo
Flamin' out along her head
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red

She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo

She said she was a Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know

She had a snake for a pet and an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin, a doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(I couldn't come in right then)

And so she wandered through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An' I'd just love it in her room

Well, I was born to have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets

She stripped away her rancid poncho
An' laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An' it was useless any more

She had a snake for a pet and an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin, a doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(Actually, I was very busy then)

And so she wandered through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An' I'd just love it in her room

Well, I was born to have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets

She said she was a Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know

Is that a real poncho? I mean is that a
Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Hmmm, no foolin'
