Frank Zappa Ruthie, Ruthie song lyrics

[FZ:] I, I can't see you, but I know that you're out there. It's that little voice, that same little voice at all of the concerts, of the guy in the back of the room. It's going, "Weh-ne-heh, Hehn-weh-ni-heh-ni-heh. Mini-mini-heh mini-hehn." Coupla years ago, there was a guy that used to come to all the concerts on the East Coast, I swore I heard him every night for a month, there he was somewhere in the audience, an' he would – it's this little voice, and he would say, "Freak me out, Frank! Freak me out! Freak me out, Frank!" OK, here we go! Arf, arf. "Weh-ne-heh." Arf.

Ruthie-Ruthie

Where did you go?

Oh, Ruthie-Ruthie, yeah yeah yeah wow wow wow wow

Where did you go?

Last night at Chatham Center

Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

I wanna tell ya a story

Right after Ruth got through barfin' (WO-ULK!)

She pushed her tray out the door

Xerox men came crashin' in, said

Ruthie-Ruthie

Where did you go?

(What did you do, now what did you do?)

Ruthie-Ruthie

(Oh yeah)

What did you do?

(Where did you go, go?)

Lookit here!

Ruthie had on a thin night gown

She wasn't feelin' very well, no no no no

She pushed her tray out the door

Some guy tried to come in

She kicked him in the nuts,

He said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Ruthie-Ruthie

What did you do?

(Now, what did you do? What did you... what did you do?)

Ruthie-Ruthie

(Ruthie-Ruthie, that was the best thing anybody could do)

What did you do, now?

[FZ:] Well, we have another song for you that goes far beyond Louie Louie, Ruthie-Ruthie, or even Brian Brian, this song is so advanced it takes us all the way from 1955 directly to approximately 1957, which is when it should have been written, but actually it was written about 1970. This is a song, we'd like to dedicate this song to Marty, our road manager, who has a fondness for the canine species, and the orifice attendant thereto.
