I might be movin' to Montana soon

Just to raise me up a crop of

Dental Floss



Raisin' it up

Waxen it down

In a little white box

That I can sell uptown



By myself I wouldn't

Have no boss,

But I'd be raisin' my lonely

Dental Floss



Raisin' my lonely

Dental Floss



Well I just might grow me some bees

But I'd leave the sweet stuff

To somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand I would



Keep the wax

'N melt it down

Pluck some Floss

'N swish it aroun'



I'd have me a crop

An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)



Movin' to Montana soon

Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)

Movin' to Montana soon

Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune



I'm pluckin' the ol'

Dennil Floss

That's growin' on the prairie

Pluckin' the floss!

I plucked all day an' all nite an' all

Afternoon . . .



I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss

(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)

He's a good hoss

Even though

He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or

Blanket on anyway

He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or

Blanket on anyway

Any way



I'm pluckin' the ol'

Dennil Floss

Even if you think it is a little silly, folks

I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I don't care if you think it's silly, folks



I'm gonna find me a horse

Just about this big,

An' ride him all along the border line



With a

Pair of heavy-duty

Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand

Every other wrangler would say

I was mighty grand



By myself I wouldn't

Have no boss,

But I'd be raisin' my lonely

Dental Floss



Raisin' my lonely

Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely

Dental Floss



Well I might

Ride along the border

With my tweezers gleamin'

In the moon-lighty night



And then I'd

Get a cuppa cawfee

'N give my foot a push . . .

Just me 'n the pygmy pony

Over by the Dennil Floss Bush



'N then I might just

Jump back on

An' ride

Like a cowboy

Into the dawn to Montana



Movin' to Montana soon

…I saw that tour…
watched 200 Motels lately (on again tonight) thought it held up pretty well, assuming you were inclined to like it to begin with…

My first Zappa tour was the Grand Wazoo--he had a big band style setup where the musicians each had their own stand (?). Zappa conducted and played guitar. I remember he limped onto the stage because still recovering from breaking his leg(s?) after the famous incident where an "enraged fan" in the UK threw him into an orchestra pit.

I believe Grace Slick called him "the most intelligent asshole I know."

I saw him at the Armadillo in about '80.

Sadly, I did sheetrock finishing in the office building that replaced the Armadillo World Headquarters. But previous to accepting the idea of legal employment, and in Austin I never accepted the idea for very long, I offered to some guys in the Armadillo beer garden something fantastic, and they turned out to be Bandidos or Angels and they told me (actually fairly politely) that I could not offer such things there because they were the only ones that could offer such things there. But to stay closer to topic, Mr. BCs oldest brother was at one time a highschool band director, in the 70s, and he had his kids play Zappa tunes.
