A Tribute to Captain Beefheart's "Abba Zabba."

lyrics

Bar after bar, chasing sweet tooth
And a chimp to boot
Chocolate chimp to boot
(Have an Almond Joy)
Sticky chocolate toy
(Have an Almond Joy)
Very pudgy boy
(With his monkey toy)
Have an Almond Joy!

He's a roly poly boy
With his Almond Joy

Yeah, run run to the store
Snatch some more, your shameful hoard
Candy Chimp to boot

Mother says Pug, way too much for a body to use
You got the sugar blues
A-L-M-O-N-D
Candy Chimp to boot
A-L-M-O-N-D
Candy cigs to boot
(Have an Almond Joy)
Pudgy little boy
(Have an Almond Joy)
Fill his heart with joy
(Roly poly boy)
Like an Almond Joy
Like an Almond Joy

Run, run to Doctor Smith
Eyeballs burn, glycemic fit
Yellow skin observed
Barely says a word
Can't find a vein
Keep trying again
Gotta take the pain
Keep trying again

Bar after bar, chasing sweet tooth
Candy Chimp to boot
A-L-M-O-N-D
Kandy Korn to boot
A-L-M-O-N-D
Candy cigs to boot
(Have an Almond Joy)
Pudgy little boy
(Have an Almond Joy)
With his monkey toy
(Roly poly boy)
Like an Almond Joy
Like an Almond Joy

Run, run home to rest
Bedtime rags, cold compress
Yellow fever spikes, you're a sweaty guy
All your candy's gone, will you never learn
No matter what you eat, it will soon return
Yellow skin observed, barely says a word
Can't find a vein, keep trying again
Gotta take the pain, keep trying again...
