[Frank Zappa - Drowning Witch lyrics]
There's a ship arriving too late
To save a drowning witch
She was swimmin' along tryin' to keep a date
With a Merchant Marine
Who told her he was really rich
But it doesn't matter no more
She's on the ocean floor
And the water's all green down there
And it's not very clean down there
And water snakes and rusty wrecks
Is all that she can see
As the light goes dim
And she's tryin' to swim will she make it?
(Boy, we sure hope so)
Not even a witch oughta be caught
On the bottom of America's spew-infested
Waterways, hey hey
She could get radiation all over her
She could mutate insanely
She could mutate insanely (that's right)
You know she could go on
The freeway and grow up
To be 15 feet tall and scary-lookin'
And then cars could crash all over the place
As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on
Lookin' up to see her face
Sardines in her eyebrows
Lobsters up 'n down her forehead
All of them horribly large from radiation
And smelling very bad and dangerous!
Maybe a submarine could save her
And bring her home to the Navy
For some kind of ritual sacrifice
To save a drowning witch
She was swimmin' along tryin' to keep a date
With a Merchant Marine
Who told her he was really rich
But it doesn't matter no more
She's on the ocean floor
And the water's all green down there
And it's not very clean down there
And water snakes and rusty wrecks
Is all that she can see
As the light goes dim
And she's tryin' to swim will she make it?
(Boy, we sure hope so)
Not even a witch oughta be caught
On the bottom of America's spew-infested
Waterways, hey hey
She could get radiation all over her
She could mutate insanely
She could mutate insanely (that's right)
You know she could go on
The freeway and grow up
To be 15 feet tall and scary-lookin'
And then cars could crash all over the place
As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on
Lookin' up to see her face
Sardines in her eyebrows
Lobsters up 'n down her forehead
All of them horribly large from radiation
And smelling very bad and dangerous!
Maybe a submarine could save her
And bring her home to the Navy
For some kind of ritual sacrifice
