Lyrics

[Verse 1: Frank Zappa] The Mystery Man came over An' he said: "I'm outta sight!" He said, for a nominal service charge I could reach Nirvana tonight If I was ready, willing and able To pay him his regular fee Why, hee would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs And devote his attention to me [Chorus: Frank Zappa, Frank Zappa, Napoleon Murphy Brock & George Duke] But I said, "Look here, brother (Look here, brother) Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?!" Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? "Look here brother, don't you waste your time on me" [Verse 2: Frank Zappa, Napoleon Murphy Brock] Well, the Mystery Man got nervous An' he fidget around a bit He reachеd in the pocket of his Mystery Robе And he whipped out a shaving kit Now, I thought it was a razor And a can of foamin' goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin' his box won't do With the oil of Aphrodite (Yeah, woah!) An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo He said: "You might not believe this, little fella But it'll cure your Asthma too!" An' I said: "That's really nice" [Chorus: Frank Zappa, Frank Zappa, Napoleon Murphy Brock & George Duke] "Look here, brother Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?!" Now what kind of geroo are you anyway "Look here brother, don't you waste your time on the booger" [Instrumental Break] [Saxophone Solo: Napoleon Murphy Brock] [Guitar Solo: Jeff Simmons] [Keyboards Solo: George Duke] [Guitar Solo: Frank Zappa] [Verse 3: Frank Zappa] "I've got troubles of my own" I said "And you can't help me out So take your meditations and your preparations And ram it up your" "But I've got a crystal ball!", he said And held it to the light So I snatched it all away from him And I showed him how to do it right (Now, watch Jeff) [Bridge: Jeff Simmons, Frank Zappa] I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head So I'd look like I was Deep I said some Mumbo Jumbos then An' told him he was goin' to sleep I robbed his rings and pocket watch And everything else I found, alright I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn't even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future then As long as he was hanging around I said "The price of meat has just gone up And your old lady has just went..." [Chorus: Frank Zappa, Frank Zappa, Napoleon Murphy Brock & George Duke, George Duke] "Look here, brother" (I knew there was a way to get that on television) "Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?!" (Wow) Now, is that a real poncho or is it a Sears poncho? Don't you know? You could make more money as a butcher So don't you waste your time on me
