Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band — When Big Joan Sets Up

[Intro] Hoy, hoy! [Verse 1] When Big Joan comes out Her arms are too small Her head's like a ball She's tied off her horse And galloped off into the moonbeams She pulled up her blouse And compared her navel to the moon I dig my life for a while [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 2] When Big Joan sets up Her hands are too small She's too fat to go out in the daylight So she rolls around all night I just saw the thread with a drooped body [Chorus] I'll set up with ya, Big Joan I'm too fat to go out in the daylight I'll stay up all night I won't droop if you won't talk About your hands being too small [Verse 3] You know something's happening Or you wouldn't of come out like you did She ain't built for going naked So she can't wear any new clothes Or go to the beach They laugh at her body Cause her hands are too small [Verse 4] When big Joan sits up Her hands are too small She's outta reach A turquoise scarf and silver Rolled up over a Merc Montclair [Chorus] I'll sit up with ya, Big Joan I'm too fat to go out in the daytime I'll stay up all night If you promise not to talk About your hands being too small [Outro] Hoy, hoy, is she a boy? [Instrumental]
