Frank Zappa - "Don't Eat There" Lyrics
[includes a quote from Sleep Dirt]
[Waitress:] Are you having breakfast for lunch?
[Howard:] I'm having breakfast and he's lunched. I'll tell you what, what can you give me immediately? If not sooner, nothing hot, nothing . . . So that by the time he's finished eating those hot cakes and those dead things that I won't finish myself
[Waitress:] Bacon and eggs? Are you, are you gonna have breakfast?
[Howard:] No no
[Dick:] No no no no no
[Howard:] He'll never go for that
[Dick:] No no no, a roll and some orange juice
[?:] . . . Jimmy Graham
[Waitress:] Orange juice and . . . uh . . . a roll, uh-huh?
[Aynsley:] One stale roll
[Dick:] Yeah
[FZ:] Bread and water
[Aynsley:] One stale roll
[Waitress:] Thank you
[Howard:] Frank, you really missed it at the club last night. You should have seen what went on, man, if you would have had your tape recorder there, you would have been rolling on the ground, holding your sides. It was the greatest. Everybody was out of it, drinking wine, cheap wine. And then there was this group, this nice tight little group that was playin' and they did about two numbers, and he said: "Okay, uh, any of you guys wanna come up here?" And of course Old Stewed Simmons was the first one to check out the cat's guitar, and so he immediately procceeded to play lead. This chick came out of the audience, man, a la Janis Joplin in a gold lame, only she was rancid, and she came out there and tried to sing blues changes like Buddy Miles or something, but it just didn't work 'cause she was singing, "Get yourself together . . . You are where it's at . . . ," she did it for like . . . forty minutes, man, it was wonderful . . .

Frank Zappa "Don't Eat There" Comments
A classic!!!
Whoever you are. You have no idea how much this means to my group of older guys and myself.
We lived our lives with Frank and still do.
Favorite winter song. :)
This track started a very long and rewarding musical experience for me
To my dear friend who has departed forever.
This song probably roped more folks into Zappa's universe, than any other. It was even on the free jukebox in my high-school "cafeteria" which was a large room with a bunch of tables, and an array of vending machines on one long wall. The flip side was the abbreviated single version of "St. Alphonso". At least the vendor gave us free music, while purchasing the crap from the vending machines.
Sìììì!NoHagasèsooo AYRIN!!! Y NO OLVIDES LA CREMA PARA PICADURAS... PORQUE A VOS TE PICA UN COSO DE LA NATURALEZA Y ENSEGUIDA HACES UNA MONTAÑA DE RRONCHAA...Y DESPUÉS , DURMIENDO TE RASCAS Y TE PODES INFECTAR .
BUEH! EN FIN..HACE QUE TUS VACACIONES SEAN FELICES!
CHUICK.
Oasis de pis helado Nesta ciudad
One of the best starts of any song out there. Still, all these years later. The genius. The mad genius.
I wish the Zappa Family Trust could publish more Frank videos from the 70s... :c videos, pleaseee... I would buy them like crazy now!!!
