Old Fart At Play Lyrics - Captain Beefheart

Pappy with the Khaki sweatband 

Bowed goat potbellied barnyard that only he noticed 

The old fart was smart 

The old gold cloth madonna 

Dancin' t' the fiddle 'n saw 

He ran down behind the knoll 

'n slipped on his wooden fishhead 

The mouth worked 'n snapped all the bees 

Back t' the bungalow 

Momma was flatten'n lard 

With her red enamel rollin' pin 

When the fishhead broke the window 

Rubber eye erect 'n precisely detailed 

Airholes from which breath should come 

Is now closely fit 

With the chatter of the old fart inside

An assortment of observations took place 

Momma licked 'er lips like uh cat 

Pecked the ground like uh rooster 

Pivoted like uh duck 

Her stockings down caught dust 'n doughballs 

She cracked 'er mouth glaze caught one eyelash 

Rubbed 'er hands on 'er gorgeous gingham 

Her hand grasped sticky metal intricate latchwork 

Open t' the room uh smell cold mixed with bologna 

Rubber bands crumpled wax paper bonnets 

Fat goose legs 'n special jellies 

Ignited by the warmth of the room 

The old fart smelled this thru his important breather holes 

Cleverly he dialed from within from the outside we observed 

That the nose of the wooden mask 

Where the holes had just been uh moment ago 

Was now smooth amazingly blended camouflaged in 

With the very intricate rainbow trout replica

The old fart inside was now breathin' freely 

From his perfume bottle atomizer air bulb invention 

His excited eyes from within the dark interior glazed 

Watered in appreciation of his thoughtful cleveration.
