Zappa, Frank - Don't Eat The Yellow Snow Lyrics






[includes a quote from Midnight Sun (Hampton/Burke/Mercer)]

Dreamed I was an Eskimo
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frozen wind began to blow
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Under my boots 'n around my toe
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frost had bit the ground below
(Boop-boop aiee-ay-ah!)
Was a hundred degrees below zero
(Booh!)
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
And my momma cried:
Boo-a-hoo hoo-ooo
And my momma cried:
Nanook-a, no no (no no...)
Nanook-a, no no (no no...)
Don't be a naughty Eskimo-wo-oh
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Save your money: don't go to the show
Well I turned around an' I said:
HO HO
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said:
HO HO
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said:
HO HO
An' the Northern Lites commenced t' glow
An' she said
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop...)
With a tear in her eye:
WATCH OUT WHERE THE HUSKIES GO
AN' DON'T YOU EAT THAT YELLOW SNOW
WATCH OUT WHERE THE HUSKIES GO
AN' DON'T YOU EAT THAT YELLOW SNOW

  6. W.... ....

    Story, True or not was the song was made or developed during a Zappa concert in the most Northern part of Michigan called the U.P or Upper peninsula.. Not only was he in the Upper Peninsula but the most northern part called the Keweenaw Peninsula. It was WINTER... and if you ever been there ... it's just like Alaska. The concert was at ... MTU Michigan Tech U... The 'Huskies' ... St Alphonso's was a Church that had a pancake breakfast during the show time across the bridge in Hancock. Supposedly thats where it all started. Frank never forgot that trip it appears... This place is 200 straight North of Green Bay, so you can imagine the winter's.

  7. S.... D....

    I seen Frank Zappa over the years about 7 times and every time he was totally professional and his band was extremely tight you sure know how to pick on frank 👊😎

  12. B.... O....

    Thanks to this song "Great Googlymoogly!" and "Right upside the head of my favorite baby seal" and "destined to take the place of the mudshark in your mythology " enttered the lexicon of slang for my friends and I back in middle school in the late 70s. It wasn't just the lyrics though. Lyrics without a good tune are just bad poetry.

    78 I think at the Cleveland public hall ' it was mandatory to be trippin'' ,  10,000 people and it was sold out with the outrageous price of $ 5.00 bucks yeah  or you missed on another concert that was going on there'' ,if you wasn't trippin though'' he came out and sat on a stool and played with his back to the audience for about ten minutes'', he wasn't being rude he was a music composer and had a orchestra as a band usually'' and played titties and beer and peter wolf was the devil''. kickass concert .noke Cleveland.

  21. r.... ....

  41. M.... H....

    I don't normally mind ads, but there's just something wrong about ads on a Zappa song.

  42. P.... S....

    Fuck Canada and the people there too!

  43. S.... K....

    The nostalgia of singing this as a kid while playing in the snow

  44. o.... k....

    2:27 *_peek-a-booooooooooooooooooo_*

  45. C.... P....

    Great googly moogly …….. watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.   I recently learned that, apparently, Mr. Zappa doesn't do drugs or alcohol.      Woah, can you imagine the music if he DID!    MIND BLOWING

  46. c.... g....

    Oh my God. Right In the middle of the song is the stupid ad interruption. But by the way, frank zappa was ate up.

  47. N.... H....

    Francis Vincent Zappa.Fucking legend

  48. H.... W....

    Thought, I was _convinced_ he was a black man singing. That Joe's Garage cover didn't help me get over that idea until someone mentioned it to me that it was an 'actual' (like myself) white guy and I swear to god I was, my mind was blown right about that time, like science. Would do.




    Zappa was _blessed,_ (with a voice like that) know what I mean? I'm so glad he got into music, lol. It's like it was this man's calling, next to those cigarettes... He was just such a unique performer. It's amazing.

    H.... W....

    I read that his voice got deeper when he got pushed off stage, it caused some kind of injury that effected his vocals

  49. C.... M....

  50. H.... 6....

    This is amazing! I can't get enough of this stuff!

  51. S.... 2....

    Rip big bill we used to do coke and fish

    S.... 2....

    And play this

  52. M.... M....

    Pichì??!!!

  53. M.... L....

    Nothing like this before. Nothing like this after. Just a flash of greatness. And yellow snow.

  54. L.... ....

    Father Vivian O'Blivion

  55. E.... C....

    FUN FACT: In the albums original Father O blivion lyric sheet, it actually says " As he stumbled on his cock.." but instead there's a sound effect where the 'cock' should be. I'm guessing Warner Bros demanded it was censored :)

  56. e.... o....

    Rasputin is amazing

  57. u.... ....

    Nanook deprived the trapper of his sight.

  58. F.... S....

    She abused the sausage patties, and said why don’t you treat me mean.

  59. G.... ....

    how come there arent any musical geniuses like this anymore

    G.... ....

    flouride and chemtrails/ tv id say.

  60. B.... ....

    Why I haven't listened to Zappa for the last 10 years; I'll never know. Might be one of the worst mistakes I've made.

  61. M.... M....

    Casi que tescucho de costado..por temor a que me deVores el Hipotálamo!!!

  62. R.... U....

    Dedicated to Yvette Rest In Peace Sissy !

  63. C.... G....

    Awesome

  64. R.... T....

    I met him

    R.... T....

    So did i.
    I was actually 14 yrs old on a internal flight from Miami to LA. Didn't have a clue who he was. But we had a great time! Talking about green rosetta's, watermellons in Easterhay, yellow snow, leprechauns.. I just went with the flow, thought the guy was just nervous and a tiny bit afraid of flying.
    My big brother sitting in the front row (at the window, we traded places, on his request), never spoke a word. He knew who that dude was.
    And he thought i did also. Wondering why i was able to keep my cool....

  65. A.... T....

    Sehr geniale Musik. Einer der kreativsten Köpfe im musikalischen Bereich. R. i. L...

    A.... T....

    He was indeed a very creative genius! And he even spoke a few dirtywords Deutsch. Lol.

  66. D.... T....

    OK I have one thing to say. Well what is it. I dont know do you>OK where can we get some Breastfist LOL. Find out where Alises Resterant is

  67. O.... Y....

    Wtf volkan Demirel 😅

  68. K.... K....

    He had the unmitigated audacity to jump up behind my ig-a-loo.

  69. M.... T....

    This was my introduction to FZ.. friend’s house , into big brother’scollection in 1975 . Literally rolling on the floor laughing joyously and sitting quite still, listening in absolute amazement. . Excentrifugal forz. Is the best rap tune ever btw .. it’s my desert island FZ album .

  70. s.... b....

    That absolute sexy 7/4 time signature

  71. E.... C....

    This caused the hood to engage

  72. M.... J....

    More classic than the big bang theory.

  73. C.... A....

    Some said to ask this guy or ozzy or joey, what's it like to be free.

  74. S.... S....

    👍👍👍

  75. O.... M....

    thank you man!!!

  76. B.... R....

    this is the one that made me as a kid love zappa. & 57 years later l still love this song. the whole thing st. alfonzo would be proud of me. a classic.

  77. �.... �....

    Arabic look

  78. R.... S....

    Right thru his sock I want that on my tombstone

  79. D.... B....

    Like the Beatles, this guy was a genius.

    D.... B....

    The Beatles are one of my favorites, but you can't compare them to Frank. Dude didn't give a fuck at all about what the execs wanted and made some wonderful progressive music.

  80. b.... ....

    This is the first music I listened to when I was stationed in AK out of basic training. A bull moose named Bullwinkle was looking in the barracks window also!

    b.... ....

    Did you Rocky the Flying squirrel ?🐿🦇

  81. R.... C....

    extraordinário!

  82. L.... M....

    Zappa o cérebro😎🤣😎

  83. F.... P....

    4:15 G R E A T G O O G L E Y M O O G L E Y

  84. R.... M....

    My mother bought me this album for Christmas. She broke it in two once she heard me playing it. No biggie I went and bought a new one!!!

  85. D.... S....

    How could you possibly shove a commercial in the middle of this, you piece of human excrement!

  86. C.... G....

    Fucking Frank. So good!!

  87. K.... c....

    You NEVER INTERRUPT ZAPPA FOR A COMMERCIAL- ESPECIALLY AN ANTI- TOBACCO COMMERCIAL. TOBACCO WAS HIS FAVORITE VEGETABLE!!!

    K.... c....

    And now he is dead because of it....

    K.... c....

    And if you call any vegetable, the chances are good... that the vegetable will respond to you! (Rutabaga, rutabaga, rutaba-aa-aa-aa-ga!)

  88. R.... ....

    One of the coolest tracks ever, so tight, musicianship 10/10 even if you dont like the song it is at a level of creative genius. Alphonsos pancake breakfast breakout to rad for words. What a fuckin journey of a song. Respect

    R.... ....

    whiter shade of gray

  89. J.... ....

    Seen them in 75 @ Chrysler Arena in, Ann Arbor Mi.!

  90. F.... Z....

    I’m not dead

  91. J.... S....

    My first tattoo I got,the artist played Zappa around the clock.Id never heard Frank before and thought what in the fizknuckin hell is he listening to.

  92. B.... D....

    Wait... How do I fix my eye if I'm an Eskimo?

    B.... D....

    Wait for your instructions from Dr. Zappa and head on out to St. Alfonso's! It's all here for your edification. But DO watch out where the Huskies go, and don't mess with Nanook or his favorite baby seal!

  93. B.... M....
