Stink-Foot (Live In Zagreb, November 21, 1975)

Hello

Good evenings, ladies and gentlemen
And welcome to The Mothers of Invention Yugoslavian Extravaganza
Featuring Napoleon Murphy Brock on tenor sax and lead vocals
Norma Bell on alto saxophone
Andre Lewis on keyboards
Little, skinny, Terry Ted Bozzio on drums
Roy Ralph Bolman Guacamole Tootsamole Estrada on bass, ladies and gentlemen
And furthermore

In the dark where all the fevers grow (fever)
Under the water where the shark bubbles blow
In the morning by your radio (mornin')
Do the walls close in to suffocate ya?
You ain't got no friends and all the others, they hate ya
Does the life you been leading' got to go, now tell the truth
Let me straighten you out about a place I know
Now get your shoes and socks on people
Because it's right around the corner, you know

Out through the night and the whispering breezes
To the place where they keep the imaginary diseases
Out through the night an' the whispering breezes
To the place where they keep the imaginary diseases

Now scientists call this disease bromhidrosis, and well they should
But us regular Yugoslavian, ladies and gentlemen
Who might wear a tennis shoe or an occasional python boot
Know this exquisite little inconvenience by the name of stink-foot
Yes, how true that is

You know, my python boot was too tight
I couldn't get it off last night
A week went by, and now it's July
I finally got it off and my girlfriend cried

"You got stink-foot
Stink-foot, darlin'
Your stinkin' foot puts the hurt on my nose
Stink-foot, stink-foot, I ain't lying
Can you rinse it off, do you suppose?"

Well, here Fido, here Fido
Where is that dog?
We probably don't even have a dog
Oh, Fido please, Fido please bring me the slipper
Well, thank you Fido
Right on Fido
Now as you can see, ladies and gentlemen
Fido has just brought me the finest slippers that Germany has to offer
And I'm going to cherish these for all
But approximately the next three days
But meanwhile
