Flakes, flakes!
Flakes, flakes!
They don’t do no good
They never be workin’ when they oughta should
They waste your time
They’re wastin’ mine
California’s got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them
-Frank Zappa
I asked as nice as I could…Always liked Adrian Belew’s impression of Bob Dylan on that tune. Harmonica and all.
If my job would…
Somehow be finished by Friday
Well, them whole damn weekend came ’n’ went, Frankie
(Wanna buy some mandies, Bob?)
You know what? They didn’t do nothin’
But they charged me double for Sunday!
You know, no matter what you do
They gonna cheat ’n’ rob you
Then they’ll send you a bill that’ll get your senses reelin’
And if you do not pay
They got computer collectors
That’ll get you so crazy till your head’ll go through the ceilin’!
Yes it will!
Did Zappa really write that?! Wow. And years ago, as he’s been gone a while.
Gee, California...she ain’t goin’ nowhere, man.
