One two three four

I couldn´t say where she´s comin´ from,
But i just met a lady named dinah-moe humm

She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
I got a forty dollar bill says you can´t make me cum
No way!
(y´jes can´t do it)

She made a bet with her sister who´s a little bit dumb
She could prove it any time all men was scum

I don´t mind that she called me a bum,
But i knew right away she was really gonna cum
(so i got down to it)

I whipped off her bloomers´n stiffened my thumb
An´ applied rotation on her sugar plum

I poked´n stroked till my wrist got numb
But i still didn´t hear no dinah-moe humm,
Dinah-moe humm

Dinah-moe humm
Dinah-moe humm
Where´s this dinah-moe
Comin´ from
I just spent three hours
An´ i ain´t got a crumb
From the dinah-moe, dinah-moe, dinah-moe
From the dinah-moe humm

I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain´t been to it
I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain´t been to it

I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain´t been to it
I got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain´t been to it
And i can´t get into it
Unless i get out of it
An´ i gotta be out of it
To get myself into it
´cause i can´t get into it
Unless i get out of it
An´ i gotta be out of it
Before i get into it

(she looked over at me with a glazed eye
And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area
And she said...)
And here´s what she said:
Just get me wasted
An´ you´re half-way there
´cause if my mind´s tore up,
Well, then my body don´t care

I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin
An´ said my-my-my
What sort of thing
Might this lady get high upon?

The forty dollar bill didn´t matter no more
When her sister got nekkid an´ laid on the floor
She said dinah-moe might win the bet
But she could use a little (ow!) if i wasn´t done yet

I told her...
Just because the sun
Want a place in the sky
No reason to assume
I wouldn´t give her a try

So i pulled on her hair
Got her legs in the air
An´ asked her if she had any cooties in there

(whaddya mean cooties! no cooties on me!)

She was buns-up kneelin´
Buns up!
I was wheelin´ an´ dealin´
Wheelin´ an´ dealin´ an ooooh!
She surrender to the feelin´
She sweetly surrendered
An´ she started in to squealin´

Dinah-moe watched from the edge of the bed
With her lips just twitchin´ an´ her face gone red
Some drool rollin´ down
From the edge of her chin
While she spied the condition
Her sister was in
She quivered ´n quaked
An´ clutched at herself
Her sister made a joke
About her mental health
Until dinah-moe finally
Did give in
But i told her
All she really needed
Was some discipline...

I said:

Kiss my aura...dora...
That´s right!
You know why?
Because obviously it was real angora
And then i said:

Would you all like some more-a?
Right here on the flora?
An´ how ´bout you, fauna?
Do you wanna?

...frank, frank...up on stage...up on stage, frank...
Alright...
Take me up man, i want...
Take you up?
Yeah!
Sure!

Wait a minute, now that you´re up on stage,
What´s your name?
Brian reviera
Are you having a ok halloween brian?
I´m having an excellent time...
Sing for greenwich man, greenwich, connecticut ...
Alright now, i´ll tell you what...
Brian, do you know the words to this song?
Well, in a way, in a way...
Ok, here´s...brian, this is your golden opportunity:
This is the frank zappa performer-like contest
Now here´s what you´re going to do:
We´re gonna play this song again
And you´re gonna pretend you´re me.
And you pretend to sing the song
And dance all across the stage
And get these people a very good halloween show, would you?
Right! yeah! yeah!
Ok, ready?
Work! work!

I couldn´t say where she´s comin´ from,
But i just met a lady named dinah-moe humm

Good!

She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
I got a forty dollar bill says you can´t make me cum
(y´jes can´t do it)

She made a bet with her sister who´s a little bit dumb
She could prove it any time all men was scum

I don´t mind that she called me a bum,
But i knew right away she was really gonna cum
(so i got down to it)

I whipped off her bloomers´n stiffened my thumb
An´ applied rotation on her sugar plum

I poked´n stroked till my wrist got numb
An´ you know i heard some dinah-moe humm,
