Lyrics Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa

The Idiot Bastard Son

[The idiot bastard son:]

(THE FATHER'S A NAZI IN CONGRESS TODAY . . .

THE MOTHER'S A HOOKER SOMEWHERE IN L.A.)

[The idiot bastard son:]

(ABANDONED TO PERISH IN BACK OF A CAR . . .

KENNY WILL STASH HIM AWAY IN A JAR)

THE IDIOT BOY!

[Motorhead:]

I never wanted to because I was too small to start with, I used to drink really some bad stuff . . . Wine, all kinds of wine! Mixed, seven different varieties . . . Thunderbird wine . . . I don't know but I chugged a fifth of White Port once and passed out one day (heh heh) . . . and I drank a quart of beer just before that . . . and we were out riding around in the desert . . .

. . . very strange! Anyway . . .

Try and imagine

The window all covered in green

All the time he would spend

At the church he'd attend . . .

Warming his pew

Kenny will feed him & Ronnie will watch

THE CHILD WILL THRIVE & GROW

And enter the world

Of liars & cheaters & people like you

Who smile & think you know

What this is about

(YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING . . . maybe so)

The song we sing: DO YOU KNOW?

We're listening . . .

THE IDIOT BOY!

Try and imagine

The window all covered in green

All the time he would spend

All the colors he'd blend . . .

Where are they now?

[Gary Kellgren:]

Right now I have two hit records on the charts, but it has not made me any money. It has only brought me fame and glory, and a lot of work. Which I do, really not care to tell . . .
