Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band - Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead lyrics

FZ: While we're at it, we have a sort of a cowboy song we'd like to do for ya. This is a song that deals with the rapidly approaching 200th birthday of the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen! This is a song that warns you in advance that next year everybody is gonna try and sell you things that maybe you shouldn't ought to buy, and not only that, they've been planning it for years. The name of this song is (pardon me), "Poofters Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead". Poofter's Froth, Wyoming March Eleven Sixty-Seven Take a letter, Ms. Abetter, An' our pigeons Will be homing To our jobbers in Dakota And to Merwyn, Minnesota This is merely just a note about Performance to our quota Well, we've all come out To show dem, An' the Elks have helped us Load 'em… Little packets full of jackets Little rackets, little rackets Little Poofter-Cloth Appointments Little Poofter's Froth Anointments Little hoods, little goods Little doo-dads from the woods The entire stock is shipping (Oh, our shod is hardly slipping!) To our markets of the world Our wrinkled pennants are unfurled! T-shirt racks, rubber snacks, Poster rolls with matching tacks, Yes, a special beer for sports, And paper cups that hold two quarts! Everything a nation needs For making hoopla while it feeds The trash compactors, small reactors, Mowers, blowers, throwers & the glowers This is Buy-Cent-Any-All Salute (HYULK!) Two hundred years have gone ka-poot! (Ah but we have been astute!) Signed: Anon. – Wyo. Galoot
