Lyrics Champagne Lecture - Frank Zappa , The Mothers of Invention
FZ:
You
know,
a
lotsa
people
don't
bother
about
their
friends
in
the
VEGETABLE
KINGDOM.
They
think,
"What
can
I
say?
What
can
a
person
who
is
new
to
the
Midwest
say
to
a
vegetable?"
Howard:
Suss
it
out,
wankers!
FZ:
Suss
it
out,
wankers!
Mark
& Howard:
Suss
it
out,
wankers!
Jeff:
Suss
it
out,
wankers.
FZ:
Suss
it
out,
wankers!
Mark
& Howard:
Suss
it
out,
wankers!
Aynsley:
Suss
it
out,
wankers
... what's
the
matter
with
you?
Howard:
Aynsley
Dunbar!
FZ:
And
after
"Suss
it
out,
wankers"
.. .
Mark:
Ok.
FZ:
You
go
and
get
yourself
a
big
bottle
of
champagne!
Mothers:
AAAH!
FZ:
Find
yourself
a
young
vegetable
victim!
Mothers:
Yeah!
FZ:
Take
your
young
vegetable
victim
.. .
Step
one,
now
this
is
very
important,
you
have
to
do
it
exactly
this
way.
Bring
the
band
on
down
behind
me,
boys,
this
gets
technical!
First:
You
get
a
Polaroid
camera
.. .
Mothers:
Yeah!
FZ:
And
you
make
one
good
jump,
From
a
balcony
to
another
balcony
on
the
seventh
floor
Of
the
Sheraton
Hotel
in
Jacksonville.
Howard:
Aynsley
Dunbar,
ladies
and
gentlemen.
FZ:
When
you
land
on
the
other
balcony
with
your
Polaroid
camera,
something
like
this
.. .
Mothers:
Heeey!
FZ:
Shoot
off
one
good
flashbulb
catching
.. .
The
agent
will
immediately
turn
around
and
say,
"You
know,
I
sure
would
like
to
have
that
photograph."
You
walk
up
to
the
agent
and
say,
"Well,
huh,
funny
you
should
mention
it,
I
have
this
photograph
here
and
just
about
time
to
develop
it,
Yes
it
turned
out
great,
it
shows
both
of
you
here,
And
I'll
give
you
this
photograph
if
you'll
give
me
the
munchkin
vegetable
That
you're
with
in
order
that
I
might
make
a
few
more
pictures
... "
So
you
make
a
quick
trade,
holding
the
champagne
bottle
In
abeyance
until
the
rest
of
the
members
of
your
band
Have
jumped
over
the
same
balcony
.. .
Mothers:
Eeeeeeeeh!
FZ:
And
come
in
and
taken
their
places
around
the
bed
Where
the
munchkin
vegetable
is
laid
out,
posing:
Leg
up
in
the
air,
leg
down,
leg
to
the
side.
Then,
after
some
deft
manipulation
of
the
Vital
parts
of
the
munchkin
vegetable
.. .
Jeff:
Hey,
I
want
some
baby
to
hold
my
tool
and
squeeze
it
FZ:
With
one
masterful
stroke,
Or
maybe
you
might
use
several
masterful
strokes—
Shake
up
the
magnum
of
champagne
to
a
foamy
froth,
Holding
your
thumb
over
the
end
of
it
.. .
Aynsley:
No,
no,
no
... you
left
the
cork
in,
Frank,
you
pull
the
cork
out
it
... Suss
it
out,
wankers!
Howard:
They're
a
hip
audience,
Frank,
they
know
what's
gonna
happen
next!
FZ:
After
the
band
has
given
you
complete
attention,
And
is
watching
closely
for
the
precise
moment
Of
the
detonation
of
the
alcoholic
beverage
into
the
vital
organ,
You
give
a
sort
of
casual
glance
around
the
bedroom
of
the
Sheraton,
A
suave
little
smile
and
wink
one
eye,
Adjust
your
bow
tie,
and
just
stuff
it
right
in
there!
Mothers:
Aaaah!
FZ:
And
then
you
tell
'em
how
you
feel.
You
whip
it
right
out,
take
a
snort
off
of
it
.. .?:
How
do
you
feel?
Mark:
Aynsley
Dunbar
.. .
FZ:
No,
no,
no
.. .
