Punky's Whips - Frank Zappa

Some of these devices have been known to leave irreparable scars on the minds

of foolish young consumers

One such case is seated before you, live on stage.

Yes

Terry Bozzio

That cute little drummer!

Terry recently fell in love

With a publicity-photo of a boy named Punky Meadows…, lead guitar player from

a group called Angel

In the photo

Punky was seen with a beautiful shiny hairdo

In a semi-profile which emphasized the pootched out succulence

Of his insolent pouting rictus

(Oh Punky!) The sight of which drove the helpless young drummer mad with desire!

BOZZIO:

I can’t stand the way he pouts

Cause he might not be pouting for me!

(Ha! Punky Meadows, pouting for you?)

He’s not pouting for me?

His hair’s so shiny and it’s done real nice

'Til I squirm with ecstasy

Punky, Punky, give me your lips to die on!

Oh Punky, isn’t it romantic?

Punky, Punky, give me your lips

To die on… I promise not to come in your mouth

Punky, Punky, your album’s the shits!

It’s all wrong!

Listen this is no laughing matter!

I ain’t really queer

But if he ever got near

Steven Tyler would PAY to see!

PAY to see!

Punky’s lips, Punky’s lips

His hair’s so shiny

I love his hips!

I love his teeth and his gums and such!

Punky

You’re an Angel!

You’re too much

He’s been havin' a rash

(No shit!)

That keeps the girls away

Skin doom

(Skin doom)

Is what the doctors say

I wonder what Punky is rehearsing today

I’ll just go over, and hear him play

His hair is so pretty… I'd like to bite his neck

I’ve heard a rumor he’s more fluid than Jeff Beck

BUT I AIN’T QUEER

I AIN’T GAY

(He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay)

A wrist array-ee-ay

Punky’s lips, Punky’s lips!

Oh!

I love his hair while eatin' dunk-y chips

Yeah!

I love his blink and his blank-blank-blank

Why, maybe he’d like to yank my crank?

YANK IT PUNKY!

YANK IT FASTER!

YANK IT HARDER!

YANK IT ALL NITE LONG!

COME ON PUNKY!

GET FUNKY!

I AIN’T QUEER

(NO NO NO NO)

I AIN’T GAY

(NO NO NO NO)

(He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-he-he-he-hey)

A wrist array-hey

(One more time for the world!)

And then he said:

I AIN’T QUEER

I AIN’T GAY

(He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ay-hay)

I-I

Lord, I-I'm fo-fo-o-o-nd

Of chiffo-on

In a wrist array-ee-ay-hey

I said

I-I-I-I-I-I-I

I’m a little fo-o-nd

Of chiffo-on

In a wrist array-hey-ay-ay-hey

FZ: Thank you.

.. Our birthday boy, Terry Bozzio, sad but true.
