A Little Green Rosetta Lyrics - Läther - Frank Zappa

Act III 

(after the song ends) 

This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... As you can see, MUSIC can get you 

pretty fucked up... Take a tip from Joe, do like he did, hock your imaginary guitar 

and get a good job... Joe did, and he's a happy guy now, on the day shift at 

the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of 

a fully-charged icing anointment utensil. And every time a nice little muffin comes 

by on the belt, he poots forth... And if this doesn't convince you that MUSIC 

causes BIG TROUBLE... then maybe I should turn off my plastic' megaphone and 

sing the last song on the album in my regular voice...

It's really getting betta 

It's betta, it's betta 

With a green rosetta

(Etc...) 

Good God! You're really jammin! Now the Reggae version, hey, for the People in 

the Third World... we haven't forgotten anybody on this song. .for all of you French 

people... who think that you re outta sight... And for the people in Spain... who think 

the French people are where its at... And for the people in Mongolia who always 

wanted to go to Spain for a vacation... And for those of you in Taiwan who got chumped, 

this chorus is for you: (Rang Tang Ding Dong, I am the Japanese Sandman... 

Take eight...)

Now you see, some places in the Third World it might be difficult to dance to this because 

the kerosene record player is not a very efficient device. .And a lot of times they run out of, 

they run out of spunk right in the middle of the chorus... Causing the song to sound like this... 

A little green rosetta 

However we continue in spite of the fact that the fuel may be low on your record player. 

We suggest that in places like the Fourth World where things are really tough that you 

keep the record player going by rubbing two sticks together. And if all else fails, throw 

the record away... build your own green rosetta... try this recipe: Well start with a lump of 

grass... the grass bone connected to the ankle bone... the knee bone connected to the 

wishbone... and then everybody moves to New York and goes to a party with Warren. 

Hey! And we've flown in, at great expense, (triple scale, no less, ladies and gentlemen), 

Steve Gad's clone to play the out-chorus on this song... he's really outa-site, in spite of 

the fact that the click track is totally irrelevant to what he's doing now. I'm listening to 

the click, yes I'm suffering with the click track right now... this guy is totally out of sync with it, 

but what the fuck. Ed Mann will call him up later, show him the sign. Okay Vinnie, where 

is five? 

They're pretty good musicians 

They re pretty good musicians 

They're pretty good musicians 

They're pretty good musicians 

But it don't make no difference 

If they're good musicians 

Because anybody who would buy this record 

Doesn't give a fuck if there's good musicians on it 

Because this is a stupid song 

AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT
