The Captain Beefheart - Abba Zaba lyrics

Long [originally 'song'] before song before song blues

Babbette baboon [repeat] abba zaba zoom

Two shadows at Noon, Babbette baboon [repeat]

Comin' over pretty soon, Babbette baboon

Run, run, catch her [originally 'catch her up'] soon, draft of dawn, sunshine on Babbette baboon

Mother say son, she say son, you can't lose, with the stuff you use

Abba Zaba go-zoom Babbette baboon [repeat both]

Run, run, monsoon, Indian dream, tiger moon

Yellow bird fly high, tabacco sky, two shadows at Noon [Don scrawled this

line "2 shadas at noon"]

Babbette baboon gonna catch her soon Babbette baboon

Song before song before song blues

Babbette baboon abba zaba zoom [repeat both]

Two shadows at noon, abba zaba zoom

Gonna zaba her soon Babbette baboon abba zaba zoom [repeat]

Gonna catch her soon [repeat]
