Mr. Green Genes · Frank Zappa, Uncle Meat

 

 

 

Eat your greens
Don't forget your beans & celery
Don't forget to bring
Your fake I.D.
Eat a bunch of these
MAGNIFICIENT
With sauerkraut
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Sauerkraut!
Eat a grape, a fig
A crumpete too ...
You'll pump 'em right through
Doo-wee-ooo

Eat your shoes
Don't forget the strings
And sox
Even eat the box
Your bought 'em in
You can eat the truck
That brought 'em in
Garbage truck
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMouldy
Garbage truck
Eat the truck & driver
And his gloves
NUTRITIOUSNESS
DELICIOUSNESS
WORTHLESSNESS

Since my attitude to smoking is similar to Zappa's, I have to ask - do cigarettes count.? 

 

 

 

Thanks for that video and question. Tobacco is a member of the Nightshade family. My own preference for personal reasons (tobacco contributed to health problems and premature death of parents and other loved ones) and also as OP, there are lots of cigarette songs so tobacco music merits its own thread. Go for it.( I used to love the occasional non-filter French or Turkish cigarette)

 

back to music!
