Songtexte Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead (Live) - Frank Zappa feat. Captain Beefheart

While we′re at it, we have a sort of a cowboy song we'd like to do
For ya. This is a song that deals with the rapidly approaching 200th
Birthday of the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen!
This is a song that warns you in advance that next year everybody is
Gonna try and sell you things that maybe you shouldn′t ought to buy,
And not only that, they've been planning it for years.
The name of this song is (pardon
Me), "Poofters Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead"

Poofter's Froth, Wyoming
March Eleven Sixty-Seven
Take a letter,
Ms. Abetter,
An′ our pigeons
Will be homing

To our jobbers in Dakota
And to Merwyn, Minnesota
This is merely just a note about
Performance to our quota

Well, we′ve all come out
To show dem,
An' the Elks have helped us
Load ′em .. .
Little packets full of jackets
Little rackets, little rackets

Little Poofter-Cloth Appointments
Little Poofter's Froth Anointments
Little hoods, little goods
Little doo-dads from the woods

The entire stock is shipping
(Oh, our shod is hardly slipping!)
To our markets of the world
Our wrinkled pennants are unfurled!

T-shirt racks, rubber snacks,
Poster rolls with matching tacks,
Yes, a special beer for sports,
And paper cups that hold two quarts!

Everything a nation needs
For making hoopla while it feeds
The trash compactors, small reactors,
Mowers, blowers, throwers & the glowers

This is Buy-Cent-Any-All Salute (HYULK!)
Two hundred years have gone ka-poot!
(Ah but we have been astute!)
