I'm The Slime

(album: Zappa In New York - 1978)

[FZ:]
One, two, three, four...

All right!

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozing out
From your...

Take it away, Don Pardo!

[Don Pardo:]
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help... no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It is stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

Take it away, Frank!

[FZ (Don Pardo):]
Thanks, Don!

That's right, folks...
Don't touch that dial

I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor

I am the slime from your video
You can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

(No, Frank! I'm the slime!
I'm the slime, I am the slime!)

I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor

I am the slime from your video
You can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

(Who was that?)
