Thread Name: Song challenge: If caught in a snow drift...
Subject: ADDPOP: Don't Eat the Yellow Snow
Well, I suppose it doesn't meet the song challenge, but this song has never, ever been posted at Mudcat, as far as I can determine. It makes me wonder, though, if the St. Bernard dogs would drink the brandy in the keg and then pee it on the avalanche victims...
Don't go there, Joe.

DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW
(Frank Zappa, of blessed memory)

Dreamed I was an eskimo
Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots and around my toes
The frost that bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero...

And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don't be a naughty eskimo
Save your money, don't go to the show

Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow
