Zappa’s Universe - Jazz Discharge Party Hats lyrics

Once upon a time
It was in Albuquerque, New Mexico
There were these girls that
Worked at the college the were really cool
(They thought so anyway)
The would be delighted to tell
You how suave they where
At the drop of a hat

There was three of 'em:
One of them thought she was a Beauty Queen
The other one was a Walking Blow-Job
And then there was this skinny girl

Oh well
Some of the guys in the band got together
With the girls from the college
They were having a good time
(We were in Alburquerque for
A couple of days)
But these girls thought they were Hot Shit


'N wouldn't pooch the guys in the band
On the first day, so
A couple of the guys in the band
Who were desparate for THAT KIND OF ACTION
Kept workin' on 'em for two days
(Which is a waste of fuckin' time anyway)
So, anyway
But if that's your idea of a good time
What the hey?

Send those pants up here! Here's some more!
Okay, good-good!
Traditional cottonoh, how sweet!
Umfhuh huh huh huhhh hERE! Work these!

Anyway we're in Albuquerque, New Mexico
A couple of the guys in the band
Who shall go nameless
Because their girlfriends might find out
Decided they were gonna work the
Wall on these girls from the college
So, one nightit was the first night
When they were still trying to
'get it in there'
(Ya know what I mean? Huh huh huh huh)
The skinny girl
She says to one of the guys in the band
She says, well
To several of the guys in the band
And one of the T-shirt guys too
Hey! let's go skinny-dipping!
At two o'clock in the morning at
The pool at the hotel
That's right, your heard right
Two o'clock in the morning, pool at the hotel
It was so fun
But the water was very, very cold!
So they go out there and the
Girl who was really skinny
'N' probably totally insensitive
To climatic changes
Took all of her garments off and
She jumped in the pool
And she says, HEY GUYS! COME ON IN!
Well, one of them did
The other one was too smart for that shit
So him and the T-shirt guy say
By the edge of the pool
And when the girl who was really skinny
(And insensitive to climatic changes)
Took off her clothes and jumped in the pool
She threw her pants over there
By the little table

Well, one of the guys in the
Band picked up het panties
(He told me later the stuff in the bottom
Was like punching an eclair)
Anyhowthere was nothing else to do
It was Alburquerque, New Mexico
It's two o'clock in the morning
They're not going to get any nooky anyway
So this one guy and the T-shirt guy
Started sniffing the girl's panties
They were sniffing the fudge
And sniffing the glue
Sniffing every 'thing' that adhered to these
Delightful little morsels
(Some of you might think this is weird
No wonder it's not exactly normal, but
What the fuck?) so, they're snorting it
(Hey! It's the twentieth century
Whatever you can do to have a good time
Let's get on with it
So long as it doesn't cause a murder)

So they're snorting the pants
'N' then they put them on their heads
They were having a good time
The girl was in the watershe didn't even see
What was going on with her underpants
They were wearing the pants
It looked just like a tiny little party hat
Their ears were sticking out the
Sideit was so fun later on they discovered
This would make a great way of life for them
They would go from town to town
Looking for panties
They would take the panties after
They were hung up on the clothes line
Later on they would take 'em
Back in the dressing room
They would play with them
They would fetish the underpants
They would snort every little morsel attached
To the underpantsand thenthey would feel that
They were FULFILLED

And so you can see
That what we're doing here on stage
Is part of a Great American Tradition
The tradition of the
Jazz discharge party hats
Thank you very much, good night!
