Composed by：Frank Zappa

Produced by：Frank Zappa/Ahmet Zappa/Joe Travers

The mystery man came over

An' he said I'm outa-sight

He said for a nominal service charge

I could reach Nirvana t'nite

If I was ready willing 'n able

To pay him his regular fee

He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs

And devote his attention to me

But I said

Look here brother

Who you jivin' with that cosmik debris

Now what kind of a mask man are you anyway

Look here brother

Don't you waste your time on me

The mystery man got nervous

An' he sorta fidget around a bit

He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe

An' he whipped out a shaving kit

Now I thought it was a razor

An' a can of foamin' goo

But he told me right then when the top popped open

There was nothin' his box won't do

With the oil of afro-dytee

An' the dust of the grand wazoo

He said

You might not believe this litter fall up

But this world care of

Grand wazoo

An' I said

Looking brother

Who you jivin' with that cosmik debris

Who you jivin' with that cosmik debris

Looking brother

Don't you waste your time on me

Torch me

I've got troubles of my own I said

An' you can't help me out

So take your meditations an' your preparations

An' ram it up yer snout

But I got a kristl bol he said

An' held it to his horse

So I snatched it

All away from him

An' I showed him how to do it right

I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head

So I'd look like I was deep

I said some mumbo jumbos then

An' told him he was goin' to sleep

I robbed his rings

An' pocket watch

An' everything else I found

I had that sucker hypnotized

He couldn't even make a sound

I proceeded to tell him his future then

As long as he was hanging around

I said

The price of pajamas has just gone up

An' yer ol' swarmy have just gone down

Look here brother

Who you jivin' with that cosmik debris

Now is that a real poncho or is that a seattle poncho

Don't you know

You could make more money in sindication

So don't you waste your time on me
