from Oannes *

Ένα από τα πιο συναρπαστικά στιγμιότυπα της Ζαππικής εποποιΐας, απλωμένης σε περισσότερα από 60 άλμπουμ (συν άλλα τόσα από το 1994 και μετά) είναι αυτό από το Over-Nite Sensation, κυκλοφορημένο με τους Mothers στα mid-’70s.

✻

One of the most exciting moments of the Zappa saga, spread over more than 60 albums (plus as many from 1994 onwards) is this one from Over-Nite Sensation, released with The Mothers in the mid-’70s.

❝ Three hundred years ago
I thought I might get some sleep
I stretched myself out onna antique bed
An’ my spirit did a midnite creep
You know I’ll never sleep no more
It seem to me that it just ain’t wise
Didja ever wake up in the mornin’
With a zomby woof behind your eyes
Just about as evil as you could be
I am the zomby woof
I’m that creature all the ladies been
Talkin’ about
I am the zomby woof
They all seek for shelter when I come chargin’ out
Tellin’ you all the zomby troof
Here I’m is, the zomby woof
Tellin’ you all the zomby troof
Here I’m is . . .
Reety-awrighty, he da zomby woof
Reety-awrighty, he da zomby woof
They said aw-reety
An’ they was aw-righty
An’ I was a Zomby for you, little lady . . .
I got a great big pointed fang
Which is my zomby toof
My right foot’s bigger than my other one is
Like a reg’lar zomby hoof
If I raid your dormitorium
Don’t try to remain aloof . . .
I might snatch you up screamin’ through the window all nekkid
An’ do it to you on the roof, don’t mess with the zomby woof
I am about as evil as a Boogie Man can be!
Tellin’ you all the zomby troof
Here I’m is, the zomby woof
Tellin’ you all the zomby troof
Here I’m is, the zomby woof ❞
