You Are What You Is (你就是你) - Frank Zappa (弗兰克·扎帕)

Do you know what you are

Dat what I ast ya

You are what you is you is what you am

And dat de trufe

(a cow don't make ham )

I meant dat now

You ain't what you're not

Not even hardly

So see what you got

And you got a lot o' lookin' t'do junior

You are what you is

Dat entirely too correct

An' that's all it 'tis

Uh-huhhhh

A foolish young man

Bring dat dummy ovuh heah 'n show it to 'em

Stashed away in san quentim ate de mys'try potatoes

Told ya 'bout dem 'taters

Evil prince was inventin' now he talk like de thing-fish

("hmmmm saffiiiee ")

An' he look like a mammy

("see de mammy now see de mammy now ")

His fav'rit co-log-numm

Smell like

Sister potato head bobby brown sister ghenghis adonis osmosis sister jasmine noxema tapioca:

Chitlins

Is de one dey call 'sammy'

One-adam-twelve see de mammy

He finally layin'

Armed 'n dangerous reproach wit cautium

Ensemble:

De whole thang down 'cept de nivea lotium

Rub it on good now

An de royal crown

Take good care o' dat "ash"

Do you know what you are

You's a wimp she's a shrew

You are what you is

Got dat

You is what you am

One-adam-twelve see de mammy agin'

(a cow don't make ham )

And it never will

You ain't what you're not

Unless science do somethin' 'bout it

So see what you got

I know dey woikin' on it

You are what you is

Underneath virginia

An' that's all it 'tis

Boog-boogmmm dano "mammy one" they toss dummy

E the action takes place all around them

A foolish young man

Of de negro persuasion

Devoted his life

To become a caucasian

He stopped eating pork

He stopped eating greens

He trade his dashiki

("uhuru ")

For some jordache jeans

He learned to play golf

An' he got a good score

Now he says to himself:

I ain't no

Nignint

No more hey hey hey "

One-adam-twelve see de "nignint" wit knife proceed wif cautium knife may be open

Bwana ma-coo-bah

All right let's go

Mercedes bainnnzzzzz

Who is who

I don't know

'N what is what

Somethin' I just don't know

'N why is this

Tell me now

Appropriot

That's a funny pronunciation if'n ever I heard one

If you don't like

Where'd you get that word

What you has got

Appropriot the word is not

Drop it in the dirt

Drop it yeah

'N let it rot

I can smell it now

Someone else

Here de come here de come

Will surely come

I told you he was comin'

'N pick it up

That's right

'Cause he wants some

An' he wants it for free

And when one day

There will come a day

You wonder who

I wonder too

You used to was

Who I was anyway

'N what you do

I used to work at the post office

You'll scratch your head

But I don't wanna un-do my doo

'N look around

To see what's goin' on

But what you lost

Can't seem to find it

Will not be found

A mercedes benz

Do you know what you are

I know

You are what you is

I'm the kinda guy

You is what you am

That ought to be drivin'

A cow don't make ham

A four-fifty slc

You ain't what you're not

A big ol' red one

So see what you got

With some golf clubs stickin' out de trunk

You are what you is

I'm gwine down to de links on saturday mornin'

An' that's all it is

Gimme a five dollar bill

You are what you is

And an overcoat too

An' that's all it is

Where's my waitress yeahhhh

Robbie take me to greek town

An' that's all it is

I'm harder than yer husband; harder than yer husband

You are what you is

I'm goin' down to white street to the mudd club y'all

An' that's all it is

I'm goin' down 'n work the wall 'n work the floor

You are what you is
