"America Drinks" lyrics

Frank Zappa (The Mothers Of Invention) Lyrics

"America Drinks"

[includes quotes from My Little Red Book (Bacharach/David), Entry Of The Gladiators (Julius Fucik) and more unidentified stuff]

1-2-Buckle my shoe...
Da-Doop Doop Doop Doop Doop Doo-da-Doop
Da-Doop Doop Doop Doop Doop Doop Doop
Da-Doopy Doopy Doopy Doopy Diddly Doopy etc.
Oh no! Oh no-o-o!

I tried to find
How my heart
Could be so blind, (wanna buy some pencils?) Dear
How could I be fooled
Just like the rest
You came on strong
With your fast car
And your class ring
Sad eyes & your bran flakes
I fell for the whole thing
I don't regret
Having met
Up with a girl who breaks
Hearts like they were
Nothing at all (here's one for mother!)
I've done it too
Now I know
Just what it feels like...
