Dew On The Newts We Got
Frank Zappa · 200 Motels [1971]
Chorus:
Dew on the newts we got. Newt money dew.
It's a payment on the rental for the dewy little newts we got.
We got 'em dewy. Left 'em in the yard all night,
though they didn't get uptight.
The little vixens, the saucy little vixens, [? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?].
I know that they did not, did not,
I know that they did not dash off into the night
Dew on the newts we got. Newt money dew.
It's a payment on the rental for the dewy little newts we got.
We got 'em dewy. Left 'em in the yard all night,
though they didn't get uptight.
The little vixens, the saucy little vixens, [? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?].
I know that they did not, did not,
I know that they did not dash off into the night
