Lyrics

Act III
 (after the song ends)
 This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... As you can see, MUSIC can get you
 pretty fucked up... Take a tip from Joe, do like he did, hock your imaginary guitar
 and get a good job... Joe did, and he's a happy guy now, on the day shift at
 the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of
 a fully-charged icing anointment utensil. And every time a nice little muffin comes
 by on the belt, he poots forth... And if this doesn't convince you that MUSIC
 causes BIG TROUBLE... then maybe I should turn off my plastic' megaphone and
 sing the last song on the album in my regular voice...
 SCENE EIGHTEEN
 A LITTLE GREEN ROSETTA
 CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 You'll make a muffin betta
 With a green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A tiny green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 You'll make a muffin betta
 Betta
 It's really getting betta
 It's betta, it's betta
 With a green rosetta
 Green rositti
 A little green rositti
 It's really, really meaty
 A little green rositti
 Betta, betta,
 (Hey, really out there... really good)
 It's really getting betta
 It's betta, it's betta
 With a green rosetta
 Setta, setta
 (Good God, give the drummer some)
 Green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 (Setta, setta, setta, etc...)
 (Make a muffin, make a muffin, make a muffin,
 Make a muffin betta, make a muffin betta, etc...)
 With a green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 (Etc...)
 Good God! You're really jammin! Now the Reggae version, hey, for the People in
 the Third World... we haven't forgotten anybody on this song. .for all of you French
 people... who think that you re outta sight... And for the people in Spain... who think
 the French people are where its at... And for the people in Mongolia who always
 wanted to go to Spain for a vacation... And for those of you in Taiwan who got chumped,
 this chorus is for you: (Rang Tang Ding Dong, I am the Japanese Sandman...
 Take eight...)
 Green rosetta
 Green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 (Against the Reggae beat, though... No, it's still Reggae, but it s all backwards)
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 You'll make a muffin betta (Etc., etc., etc...)
 Now you see, some places in the Third World it might be difficult to dance to this because
 the kerosene record player is not a very efficient device. .And a lot of times they run out of,
 they run out of spunk right in the middle of the chorus... Causing the song to sound like this...
 A little green rosetta
 However we continue in spite of the fact that the fuel may be low on your record player.
 We suggest that in places like the Fourth World where things are really tough that you
 keep the record player going by rubbing two sticks together. And if all else fails, throw
 the record away... build your own green rosetta... try this recipe: Well start with a lump of
 grass... the grass bone connected to the ankle bone... the knee bone connected to the
 wishbone... and then everybody moves to New York and goes to a party with Warren.
 Hey! And we've flown in, at great expense, (triple scale, no less, ladies and gentlemen),
 Steve Gad's clone to play the out-chorus on this song... he's really outa-site, in spite of
 the fact that the click track is totally irrelevant to what he's doing now. I'm listening to
 the click, yes I'm suffering with the click track right now... this guy is totally out of sync with it,
 but what the fuck. Ed Mann will call him up later, show him the sign. Okay Vinnie, where
 is five?
 They're pretty good musicians
 They re pretty good musicians
 They're pretty good musicians
 They're pretty good musicians
 But it don't make no difference
 If they're good musicians
 Because anybody who would buy this record
 Doesn't give a fuck if there's good musicians on it
 Because this is a stupid song
 AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 You make a muffin betta
 With a little green rosetta
 A little green rosetta
 Rosetta, rosetta, rosetta
 (etc., etc., etc...)
 AL MALKIN.
 Zetta.
