Lyrics for You Are What You Is by FRANK ZAPPA:
| | | Artist: | FRANK ZAPPA |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | You Are What You Is | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 109 | | | | Lyrics: | Do you know what you are?
You are what you is
You is what you am
(A cow don't make
ham...)
You ain't what you're not
So see what you got
You are what you is
An' that's
all it 'tis
A foolish young man
From a middle class fam'ly
Started singin' the
blues
'Cause he thought it was manly
Now he talks like the
Kingfish
("Saffiiiee!")
From Amos 'n Andy
("Holy mack'l dere. . .Holy mack'l
dere")
He tells you that chitlins. . .
Well, they taste just like candy
He thinks that
he's got
De whole thang down
From the Nivea Lotion To de Royal Crown
Do you know what
you are?
You are what you is
You is what you am
(A cow don't make ham. . .)
You
ain't what you're not
So see what you got
You are what you is
An' that's all it
'tis
A foolish young man
Of the Negro Persuasion
Devoted his life
To become a
Caucasian
He stopped eating pork
He stopped eating greens
He traded his
dashiki
("Uhuru!")
For some Jordache Jeans
He learned to play golf
An' he got a good
score
Now he says to himself
"I AIN'T NO NIGGER NO MORE.
HEY! HEY!
"I don't
understand you. . ."
BWANA MA-COO-BAH"
Would you please speak more clearly..."
MERCEDES
BAINNNNNNNZ
Who is who
(I don't know...)
'N what is what
(Somethin' I just don't
know...)
'N why is this
(Tell me now...)
Appropriot
(That's a funny pronunciation if
'n ever I heard one...)
If you don't like
(Where'd you get that word?)
What you has
got
(Appropriot? The word is not...)
Drop it in the dirt
(Drop it yeah. . .)
'N let
it rot
(I can smel | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
