Frank Zappa — Stinkfoot Conceptual Continuity

In the dark Where all the fevers grow (Heyyy) Under the water Where the shark bubbles blow In the mornin' By your reddio Do the walls close in T'suffocate ya You ain't got no friends An' all the others they hate ya Does the life you've been leadin gotta go, now tell the truth? Let me straighten you out About a place I know Now get your shoes 'n socks on, people Because it's literally right around the corner Out through the night An' the whisperin breezes To the place where they keep The imaginary diseases [2x] Scientists call this stupid disease "Bromedrosis" And well they should But us regular folks Who might wear a tennis shoe Or an occasional Python Booth Know this exquisite little inconvenience By the name of STINK FOOT Yes that's very true Hey listen buddy if you're gonna sell t-shirts don't do it in the middle of the concert, take 'em outside some place Anybody else who's walking around in the audience with t-shirts, get the fuck outta here. That pisses me off! I didn't know such things existed. A guy walking in front off the stage with a fucking t-shirt to sell to somebody. Well you live and learn Scientists call these T-shirts "Bromedrosis" And well they should But us regular folks Who might wear a tennis shoes Or an occasional Python Booth Know this exquisite little inconvenience By the name of Commercialism Y'know my python boot is too tight Couldn't get it off last night A week went by An' now it's July I finally got it off an' my girlfriend cry "You got stink-foot! Stink-foot, darlin'!" Your stinking foot puts the hurts on my nose Stink-foot! Stink-foot! I ain't lyin'! Can you rinse it off, d'you suppose?" Now this is the first, this is the first sterling example of real live Detroit style audience participation. Let's get ready for this. This is gonna be one of the big ones. It's very simple you know. A lot of people that do rock & roll shows wanna get the audience involved and they ask them to do hard things like keeping time to the music, we're not gonna do that. All we need is a girl, we need a girl, maybe several girls who will actually kiss this ugly son of a bitch right here, just put their mouth right on the end of this stinking replica blue foot. Do we have, and I know we do right there in the corner just looking at you, the way you're dressed. The way your hair is. The way your glasses are tastefully poised on the top of your head. Your lips are destined to come in intimate contact with this foot. What do you say? You say no? Of course you say no They always say no at first. Are you ready? Now there's a girl with good taste. You know what I mean. I'm gonna give you one more chance to redeem yourself. Perhaps, perhaps you're just entirely too well groomed to actually . . . yes that's what it is. Ladies and Gentleman 'Cher'! Well we'll put the foot away momentarily because we have some important things to show you . . . . Many of these things that you'll see tonight are actually . . . SICK!
