    One two three four

    I couldn't say where she's comin' from,
    But i just met a lady named dinah-moe humm

    She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
    I got a forty dollar bill says you can't make me cum
    No way!
    (y'jes can't do it)

    She made a bet with her sister who's a little bit dumb
    She could prove it any time all men was scum

    I don't mind that she called me a bum,
    But i knew right away she was really gonna cum
    (so i got down to it)

    I whipped off her bloomers'n stiffened my thumb
    An' applied rotation on her sugar plum

    I poked'n stroked till my wrist got numb
    But i still didn't hear no dinah-moe humm,
    Dinah-moe humm

    Dinah-moe humm
    Dinah-moe humm
    Where's this dinah-moe
    Comin' from
    I just spent three hours
    An' i ain't got a crumb
    From the dinah-moe, dinah-moe, dinah-moe
    From the dinah-moe humm

    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it
    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it

    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it
    I got a spot that gets me hot
    But you ain't been to it
    And i can't get into it
    Unless i get out of it
    An' i gotta be out of it
    To get myself into it
    'cause i can't get into it
    Unless i get out of it
    An' i gotta be out of it
    Before i get into it

    (she looked over at me with a glazed eye
    And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area
    And she said...)
    And here's what she said:
    Just get me wasted
    An' you're half-way there
    'cause if my mind's tore up,
    Well, then my body don't care

    I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin
    An' said my-my-my
    What sort of thing
    Might this lady get high upon?

    The forty dollar bill didn't matter no more
    When her sister got nekkid an' laid on the floor
    She said dinah-moe might win the bet
    But she could use a little (ow!) if i wasn't done yet

    I told her...
    Just because the sun
    Want a place in the sky
    No reason to assume
    I wouldn't give her a try

    So i pulled on her hair
    Got her legs in the air
    An' asked her if she had any cooties in there

    (whaddya mean cooties! no cooties on me!)

    She was buns-up kneelin'
    Buns up!
    I was wheelin' an' dealin'
    Wheelin' an' dealin' an ooooh!
    She surrender to the feelin'
    She sweetly surrendered
    An' she started in to squealin'

    Dinah-moe watched from the edge of the bed
    With her lips just twitchin' an' her face gone red
    Some drool rollin' down
    From the edge of her chin
    While she spied the condition
    Her sister was in
    She quivered 'n quaked
    An' clutched at herself
    Her sister made a joke
    About her mental health
    Until dinah-moe finally
    Did give in
    But i told her
    All she really needed
    Was some discipline...

    I said:

    Kiss my aura...dora...
    That's right!
    You know why?
    Because obviously it was real angora
    And then i said:

    Would you all like some more-a?
    Right here on the flora?
    An' how 'bout you, fauna?
    Do you wanna?

    ...frank, frank...up on stage...up on stage, frank...
    Alright...
    Take me up man, i want...
    Take you up?
    Yeah!
    Sure!

    Wait a minute, now that you're up on stage,
    What's your name?
    Brian reviera
    Are you having a ok halloween brian?
    I'm having an excellent time...
    Sing for greenwich man, greenwich, connecticut ...
    Alright now, i'll tell you what...
    Brian, do you know the words to this song?
    Well, in a way, in a way...
    Ok, here's...brian, this is your golden opportunity:
    This is the frank zappa performer-like contest
    Now here's what you're going to do:
    We're gonna play this song again
    And you're gonna pretend you're me.
    And you pretend to sing the song
    And dance all across the stage
    And get these people a very good halloween show, would you?
    Right! yeah! yeah!
    Ok, ready?
    Work! work!

    I couldn't say where she's comin' from,
    But i just met a lady named dinah-moe humm

    Good!

    She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
    I got a forty dollar bill says you can't make me cum
    (y'jes can't do it)

    She made a bet with her sister who's a little bit dumb
    She could prove it any time all men was scum

    I don't mind that she called me a bum,
    But i knew right away she was really gonna cum
    (so i got down to it)

    I whipped off her bloomers'n stiffened my thumb
    An' applied rotation on her sugar plum

    I poked'n stroked till my wrist got numb
    An' you know i heard some dinah-moe humm,
    Dinah-moe humm
    Dinah-moe
    Dinah-moe
    Dinah-moe
    A little dinah-moe

    A little dinah-moe again
    Little dinah-moe
    A little dinah-moe again
