Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?

Frank Zappa · Joe's Garage [1979]

why does it hurt when I pee

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

I

Pee?
