歌词
Frank Zappa: "You ready?"
Frank Zappa: "One, two, three, four…"
Frank Zappa: "Ok, go."
Master, master
This is recorded through a fly's ear
And you have to have a fly's eye to see it
It's the thing that's gonna make Captain Beefheart
And his Magic Band fat
Frank, it's the big hit
It's the blimp! It's the blimp, Frank!
It's the blimp!
When I see you floatin' down the gutter
I'll give you a bottle of wine
Put me on the white hook
Back in the fat rack, shad rack-y shack
The sumptin' hoop the sumptin' hoop
The blimp, the blimp
The drazy hoops, the drazy hoops
They're camp, they're camp
Tits, tits, the blimp, the blimp
The mothership, the mothership
The brothers hid under their hood
From the blimp, the blimp
Children stop your nursing unless you're renderin' fun
The mothership
The mothership's the one
The blimp, the blimp
The tapes a trip, it's a trailin' tail
It's traipsin' 'long behind
The blimp, the blimp
The nose has a cramp
The nose is the blimp, the blimp
It blows the air, the snoot isn't fair
Look up in the sky there's a dirigible there
The drazy hoops whir
You can see them just as they were
All the people stare
And the girls' knees trembles
And run and wave their hands
And run their hands over
The blimp, the blimp
Daughter don't you dare
Oh momma who cares
It's the blimp, it's the blimp
Captain Beefheart: "Hello."
Frank Zappa: "Hello."
Captain Beefheart: "Did you get it?"
Frank Zappa: "Sure did. (chuckling) It's beautiful.
I think that we have enough on the tape to, uh,
just use that as is for the album.
Ok, I'm gonna listen to it back now, I gotta go back to work."
