You Are What You Is (Thing-Fish Version) Frank Zappa

Straighten up in that chair and pay attentium! People, this is for your own good! Do you know what you are?

Do you know what you are? (that's what I asked ya)
You are what you is
You is what you am (ain't dat de truth?)
(A cow don't make ham . . . ) I mean that now
You ain't what you're not (not even hardly)
So see what you got (and you got a lotta lookin' to do, junior)
You are what you is (that's entirely too correct)
An' that's all it 'tis (uh-huh)

A foolish young man (bring that W over here and show it to us)
Stashed away at San Quentin
Picked up these potatoes (told you 'bout them 'tatoes)
Evil Prince was inventin'
Now he talk like the Thing-Fish
("Saffiiiee!")
An' he look like a mammy
("See the mammy now, see the mammy now!")
His favorite co-log-nah
(Smell like chitlins!)
Well, they taste just like candy (one out of twelve see the mammy)
He finally laid it
Laid de whole thing down
Said the Nivea Lotion (rub it on good now)
And de Royal Crown (take good care of that ash)
