The Idiot Bastard Son

Frank Zappa

[Verse 1]
The idiot bastard son
The father's a Nazi in congress today
The mother's a hooker somewhere in L.A

[Verse 2]
The idiot bastard son
Abandoned to perish in back of a car
Kenny will stash him away in a jar
The idiot boy!

[Interlude]
I never wanted to because I was too small to start with, I used to drink really some bad stuff . . . Wine, all kinds of wine! Mixed, seven different varieties . . . Thunderbird wine . . . I don't know but I chugged a fifth of White Port once and passed out one day (heh heh) . . . and I drank a quart of beer just before that . . . and we were out riding around in the desert
(. . . very strange . . . Anyway!)

[Bridge]
Try and imagine
The window all covered in green
All the time he would spend
At the church, he'd attend...
Warming his pew

[Verse 3]
Kenny will feed him & Ronnie will watch
The child will thrive and grow
And enter the world
Of liars & cheaters & people like you
Who smile & think you know what this is about

[Verse 4]
You think you know everything... maybe so
The song we sing: do you know?
We're listening...
The idiot boy!

[Bridge]
Try and imagine
The window all covered in green
All the time he would spend
All the colors he'd blend
Where are they now?

[Spoken Word Outro]
Right now I have two hit records on the charts, but it has not made me any money. It has only brought me fame and glory, and a lot of work. Which I do, really not care to tell
