Frank Zappa
Tryin’ to Grow a Chin (YCDTOSA)
Hey! I'm only fourteen
Sickly 'n thin
Tried all of my life
Just to grow me a chin
It popped out once
Yeah, but my dad pushed it in
Tell me, why did he hurt me?
Lord, he's my next of kin...
He's a mex-i-kin

I'm lonely 'n green;
Too small for my shirt
If Simmons was here
I could feature my hurt
Scared of the future
'N I hope I don't grow
Hey listen, I know nobody likes me
'Cause everywhere I go
They say NO
They say NO
They say NO
Agh!
They say NO

Now that I'm older
I got a place in the town, babe
I got a chin on my shoulder
'N it keeps growing down down down
Scared of the future
'N I wish I was dead
(Mattie told Hattie...)
Oh...
I'd rather be dead instead
Shit!
I'd rather be dead instead
Now dig this:
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
(Mattie told Hattie...)
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me

One more time for the world!

I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me
I'd rather be dead in bed
Please kill me 'cause that would thrill me

I'm horny 'n lonely too!
(Mattie told Hattie
About a thing she saw...)
