Lyrics Let's Make the Water Turn Black - Frank Zappa feat. The Mothers
Now
believe
me
when
I
tell
you
that
my
song
is
really
true
I
want
everyone
to
listen
and
believe
It's
about
some
little
people
from
a
long
time
ago
And
all
the
things
the
neighbors
didn't
know
Early
in
the
morning
Daddy
Dinky
went
to
work
Selling
lamps
& chairs
to
San
Ber'dino
squares
And
I
still
remember
Mama
with
her
apron
& her
pad
Feeding
all
the
boys
at
Ed's
Cafe!
Whizzing
& pasting
& pooting
through
the
day
.. .
(Ronnie
helping
Kenny
helping
burn
his
poots
away!)
And
all
the
while
on
a
shelf
in
the
shed:
KENNY'S
LITTLE
CREATURES
ON
DISPLAY!
Ronnie
saves
his
numies
on
a
window
in
his
room
(A
marvel
to
be
seen:
dysentery
green)
While
Kenny
& his
buddies
had
a
game
out
in
the
back:
LET'S
MAKE
THE
WATER
TURN
BLACK
We
see
them
after
school
in
a
world
of
their
own
(To
some
it
might
seem
creepy
what
they
do
.. .)
The
neighbors
on
the
right
sat
& watched
them
every
night
(I
bet
you'd
do
the
same
if
they
was
you)
Whizzing
& pasting
& pooting
through
the
day
.. .
(Ronnie
helping
Kenny
helping
burn
his
poots
away!)
And
all
the
while
on
a
shelf
in
the
shed:
KENNY'S
LITTLE
CREATURES
ON
DISPLAY!
Ronnie's
in
the
Army
now
& Kenny's
taking
pills
Oh!
How
they
yearn
to
see
a
bomber
burn!
Color
flashing,
thunder
crashing,
dynamite
machine!
(Wait
till
the
fire
turns
green
... wait
till
the
fire
turns
green)
WAIT
TILL
THE
FIRE
TURNS
GREEN!
This
would
be
a
little
bit
of
vocal
teen-age
heaven,
right
here
on
Earth!
