Electric Aunt Jemima

Frank Zappa · Uncle Meat [1969]

Electric Aunt Jemima

Goddess of Love

Khaki Maple Buckwheats

Frizzle on the stove

Queen of my heart

Please hear my plea

Electric Aunt Jemima

Cook a bunch for me



Tried to find a reason

Not to quit my job

Beat me till I'm hungry

Found a punk to rob

Love me Aunt Jemima

Love me now & ever more



Love me Aunt Jemima



Tried to find a raisin

Brownies in the basin

Monza by the street light

Aunt Jemima all night

Holiday & salad days

And days of mouldy mayonaise

Caress me

Caress me

Caress me Aunt Jemima

Caress me

Caress me Aunt Jemima

Caress me

Caress me Aunt Jemima

Caress me

Caress me Aunt Jemima

Caress me

Caress me Aunt Jemima



Mmm why are my lips, are gettin' heavy



I can't tell when you're telling the truth



I'm not.



How'd I know anything you said to me is ...



You don't.
