Rhymin' Man - Frank Zappa

Rhymin' Man

Tall and tan

Rhyme or reason

Play your hand --

Rhyme on this -- rhyme on that

Oh, you naughty Democrat!

They say when Doctor King got shot

Jesse hatched an evil plot

Dipped his hands in the Doctor’s blood

'N rubbed his shirt like playin' with mud

Looked around for all the press

'N said: «Check me out, my name is Jess!

I’ll be known from towns 'n farms --

Doctor King died in my arms!»

Rhymin' Man

Tall and tan

Rhyme or reason

Play your hand --

Rhyme on this -- rhyme on that

Oh, you naughty Democrat!

A few years later, legend says

Rhymin' man made a run for Prez

Farrakhan made him a clown

Over there near Hymie-Town

Said he was a diplomat --

Hobbin' an-a-knobbin' with Arafat

Castro was simpatico

But the U.S. voters, they said: «No!»

Rhymin' Man

Tall and tan

Rhyme or reason

Play your hand --

Rhyme on this -- rhyme on that

Oh, you naughty Democrat!

Okay, here we go again!

Rhymin' Man says he’s your friend

Any fool can make a rhyme --

Cowboys do it all the time

People say: «Now he’s mature!»

Cowboys rhyme that with horse manure

Horse manure!

That’s for sure!

You been cheatin' --

We kept score!

Are you «this»?

Or are you «that»?

Oh, you naughty

Democrat!
