I for one care less for them!<br><br>Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing<br>Anointment utensil he poots forths a quarter-ounce green rosette (oh ah yuk<br>Yuk... let's try that again...!) he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosette<br>Near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.<br>Later he says:<br><br>Some people... some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say<br>There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of god's grey<br>Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!<br><br>Girl you thought he was a man<br>But he was a muffin<br>He hung around till you found<br>That he didn't know nuthin'<br><br>Girl you thought he was a man<br>But he only was a-puffin'<br>No cries is heard in the night<br>As a result of him stuffin'<br><br>Bruce fowler on trombone, napoleon murphy brock on tenor sax, and lead vocals,<br>Terry bozzio on drums, tom fowler on bass, denny walley on slide, george duke<br>On keyboards, captain beefheart on vocals, and soprano sax, and madness. thank<br>You very much for coming to the concert tonight. hope you enjoyed it. goodnight<br>Austin, texas, where ever you are.
