Ruthie - Ruthie Lyrics - You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1 - Frank Zappa

[FZ:] I, I can't see you, but I know that you're out there. It's that little voice, that same little voice at all of the concerts, of the guy in the back of the room. It's going, "Weh-ne-heh, Hehn-weh-ni-heh-ni-heh. Mini-mini-heh mini-hehn." Coupla years ago, there was a guy that used to come to all the concerts on the East Coast, I swore I heard him every night for a month, there he was somewhere in the audience, an' he would - it's this little voice, and he would say, "Freak me out, Frank! Freak me out! Freak me out, Frank!" OK, here we go! Arf, arf. "Weh-ne-heh." Arf.

Ruthie-Ruthie 

Where did you go? 

(What did you do, now what did you do?) 

Ruthie-Ruthie 

(Oh yeah) 

What did you do? 

(Where did you go, go?) 

Lookit here! 

Ruthie had on a thin night gown 

She wasn't feelin' very well, no no no no 

She pushed her tray out the door 

Some guy tried to come in 

She kicked him in the nuts, 

He said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh!"

[FZ:] Well, we have another song for you that goes far beyond Louie Louie, Ruthie-Ruthie, or even Brian Brian, this song is so advanced it takes us all the way from 1955 directly to approximately 1957, which is when it should have been written, but actually it was written about 1970. This is a song, we'd like to dedicate this song to Marty, our road manager, who has a fondness for the canine species, and the orifice attendant thereto.
