Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?
Frank Zappa · Joe's Garage [1979]
why does it hurt when I pee
I don't want no doctor
to stick no needle in me
why does it hurt when I pee
I got it from the toilet seat
I got it from the toilet seat
it jumped right up
and grabbed my meat
I got it from the toilet seat.
My balls feel like a pair of maracas
My balls feel like a pair of maracas
Oh god I prob'ly got the gohn-no-ca-ca-cacas
My balls feel like a pair of maracas
Why does it
Why does it
Why does it
hurt
when
I
Pee?
