Frank Zappa - Diptheria Blues lyrics

There wasn't anyway you can go
Down here in Florida mississippi

And you got your own things
And you got your soul brothers

And the Funk Brothers good God! Good God!

What is this? I can't stand it

You just warm me up
Take it to my pocket please
Take it to my hometown
Take it to my strawhat

They send me down by the scarecrow
And they say hey boy
You better picking bluebirds all day long
It's about time you really got it on
And I know you brothers got
Rhythm and you got soul
Somebody you play some, I mean
We gotta have one on every block
Just to show how cool we are

What's that rag you're listening here

Would take your women back to their shed
We're gonna use you to make me feel, boy

They used to say
Play that thing there for more
Play the harmonica, boy play that thing
Asthma Mark goes free, yeah!

Asthma Mark goes free, yeah! Free yeah!
Free yeah!
Carlos Santana, ladies and gentlemen!
Good God!
Don't break that bottle, brother Aynsley
It's all we got

So Asthma Mark would sit on the corner
And he would play his Diphtheria
Blues on this corner
And people will come from miles around
To see Asthma Mark a-wheezing and a-playing
A-playing and a-wheezing and spewing
And a-foaming they say
We love you, Asthma Mark
And we sing with him go Diphtheria Blues

I can't breath i can't breath
My blow's a sweater miles of water and

Oh, I can't stand it
What's gonna happen to me
Oh Diphtheria got me down
Oh San Antonio epidemic out

Oh Diphtheria Blues

Diphtheria Blues got me down
Diphtheria Blues got me down
Can't stand it no more diphtheria Blues

Diphtheria Blues diphtheria Blues
Diphtheria Blues, yeah diphtheria Blues, oh

Can't stand it oh no oh no oW! OW!

HOO-AAHHH!

Diphtheria Blues diphtheria Blues
Diphtheria Blues diphtheria Blues
Can't stand it oh no oh no diphtheria Blues
Diphtheria Blues play that thing Asthma Mark

Good God! Good God! Amen

Okay? Sit down and cool it for a minute
So you can hear what we're gonna do! yeah
This is a song I used to sing when I was
In The Cavern in Liverpool, I haven't
Done it since so two, three, four
