When Big Joan Sets Up - Captain Beefheart

When Big Joan comes out, her arms are too small

Her head’s like a ball

She tied off her horse and galloped off into the moonbeams

She pulled up her blouse and compared her navel to the moon

I dig my life for a while

When Big Joan sets up, her hands are too small

She’s too fat to go out in the daylight

So she rolls around all night

I’m just sorta thread with a drooped body

I’ll set up with you, Big Joan

I’m too fat to go out in the daylight, I’ll stay up all night

I won’t droop if you won’t talk about your hands being too small

You know something’s happening or you wouldn’t have come out like you did

She ain’t built for going naked so she can’t wear any new clothes

Or go to the beach, they laugh at her body

'Cause her hands are too small

When Big Joan sets up, her hands are too small

She’s out of reach

A turquoise scarf and a silver robe rolled up over a Merc Montclair

I’ll sit up with you Big Joan

I’m too fat to go out in the daytime

I’ll stay up all night

If you promise not to talk about your hands being too small

Is she a boy?
