Zappa, Frank - Montana Lyrics






[backing vocals Tina Turner & The Ikettes]

I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss

Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else... but then, on the other hand I would

Keep the wax
'N melt it down
Pluck some Floss
'N swish it aroun'

I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all
Afternoon...

I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An' ride him all along the border line

With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night

And then I'd
Get a cuppa cawfee
'N give my foot a push...
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over by the Dennil Floss Bush

'N then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)

  1. R.... T....

  2. �.... �....

  3. S.... D....

    WTF is this a song?

  4. D.... F....

    🇧🇷✌️✌️✌️🎵🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

  5. D.... L....

    The camera switch operator was totally on Zappa's vibe

  6. n.... ....

    He and his band were great . I'm thinkin, may be wrong but anyway : montana is 4th nationally in growing flax . flax is edible, can be made into an oil , but also is also used to make fiber and thread . Dental floss use to be flax thread based with the wax on it of course . for the past 40 or so years our dental floss is synthetic fiber made from like most synthetics is you guessed it, petroleum crude oil based .

  7. K.... B....

    Zappa sucked. Evidenced here. And this is considered one of his good songs.

  8. H.... H....

    🐰🇺🇸🎤🎸♥️

  9. m.... m....

    🇦🇩

  10. t.... a....

    what the fuck was that!?

  11. L.... F....

    What'd ya mean cooties?

  12. L.... F....

    Just me and the pigmy ponies!

  13. L.... F....

    Got your zircon encrusted tweezers yet?

  14. n.... k....

    Happy Birthday Frank! 12 21 Gone but not forgotten!

  15. G.... T....

    HAVE MOST OF HIS WORK EVEN WITH OTHER FAMOUS MUSICIANS A TOTAL GENIUS

  16. B.... M....

    I like how he smokes while playing

  17. B.... M....

    3:40-4:10 is my favorite part

  18. B.... M....

    Does he not use a pick

  19. c.... ....

    Great stuff!! (except for the annoying camera work 🙄)

  20. R.... D....

    va donc chier

  21. r.... ....

    Seriously, if you are a Zappa fan you have to check Flula's video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUONt9mH9CY

  22. F.... C....

    Frank Zappa is underrated musician, but at least his music's and songs survived from annoying Jojo's fans comments.

  23. D.... ....

    It boggles my mind what Ruth Underwood and Chester Thompson are playing at the 0:18 mark. And seem to be having no problems playing it, like the thing is fun. :)

  24. C.... B....

    "Even though he's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or blanket on anyway" How can you even fit that lyric into two bars?

  25. J.... ....

    Moderno demais pra época. Majestoso Zappa.

  26. l.... ....

    1: 50 Metal toss flycoon.. (I wonder what that means) - LOL

  27. s.... ....

    I'm grateful Zappa didn't go the way of floss tychoonery. I really like my water pick and don't want to feel conflicted about that.

  28. P.... J....

    I'm riding a small tiny horse!

  29. J.... N....

    Probably where Weird Al got his style and looks. Go baby snakes

  30. 2.... ....

    Frank Zappa- the original and most complicated shitpost. This is genius.

  31. P.... Z....

  32. S.... R....

    To catch up on the economics described in this song, read Piketty's Capital.

    To catch up on the politics described in this song, watch Faux News, or any right-wing Ubermenchian source.

  33. U.... S....

    No one can touch Zappa....

  34. d.... b....

    Serious question. . . Was he an inspiration for Phish? Anyone know? Sure sounds like it.

  35. G.... Q....

    And now Frank and George are fucking ripping it up in Heaven.

  36. T.... R....

    See YouTube Zappa Crossfire 1986 to see Zappa was truly ha highest of high caliber mind. Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson class.

  37. T.... R....

    Whoopi tayoow tayaaaa!

  38. B.... D....

    That was just unspeakably awesome.

  39. h.... ....

    Sometimes this song just randomly pops into my head. I still don't floss enough.

  40. G.... B....

    Serj Tankian kind of reminds me of Frank Zappa musically

  41. N.... 9....

    I suppose this "music" is in the ear of the beholder....

  42. w.... ....

    Fz ,,,,music is the best

  43. K.... ....

    The best absolute best part of the song is the alternate section sung by the brass player I'm riding on a tiny horse

  44. K.... ....

    This is such a perfect song

  45. T.... H....

    Always heard Zappa was a musical icon.. not sure what drugs the people where on when they told me this but it is a big NO from me.

    T.... H....

    yeah that's understandable. we can't ALL have good taste!

  46. K.... ....

    awesome song

  47. a.... a....

    grandissimo zappa

  48. J.... M....

    Unfortunately two of this great masters left us forever :Frank Zappa and George Duke

  49. R.... B....

    oh yeah this classic google riel boire for music

  50. �.... �....

    حسافة الهيبه الي عنده من العرب

  51. s.... ....

    Zircon Encrusted Tweezers is gonna be the name of my next band

  52. M.... E....

    He is like a “schizophrenic musical genius.”

    I met a schizophrenic who was off his meds & I had a conversation with & he was all over the place with his ideas. Listening to Zappa’s lyrics is like listening to a schizophrenic speak.

  53. r.... d....

    Ruth Underwood is an amazing musician and a lovely human being

  54. F.... ....

    Zappa., Hendrix and Joplin. What can else be said?

  55. H.... S....

    😍😍😍😍😍😎 Muszyna-Zdroj/ M@rijuana Zdroj in Poland dla wyluzowanych !@😎👍😶😎😤😤😤

  56. M.... R....

    extraordinário ....

  57. I.... U....

    Que grande el Frank

  58. L.... C....

    napoleon murphy \m/

  59. I.... G....

    Holy crap is this playing @ hyper-speed. Turn the turntable back to 33 1/3 and enjoy. I hate digital crap...

    I.... G....

    care to explain what you mean by this? because this is the exact speed that it was performed. I'm curious how "digital crap" altered this exactly.

  60. M.... ....

    Zappa is unique

  61. D.... G....

    Frank could smoke Ritchie Blackmore intellectually and musically.

  62. H.... ....

    My very first concert - ever ! Frank Zappa at the Paramount in Seattle in 1974 - I was 14. My Older cousin took me and his music was way over my head back then, but what a guitar player he was.

  63. e.... ....

    i love chesters drumming,what a pity,that he went into commercial business,with genesis.but we are only in it,for the money!

  64. B.... D....

    Absolutely off his box - brilliant!

  65. m.... ....

    IDONTCARIFUTHINKITSSILLYFOLKS. IDONTCARIFUTHINKITSSILLYFOLKS!

  66. Z.... M....

    Dude this is beautiful

  67. R.... C....

    I just don't get it or him WTF

  68. T.... S....

    His words and singing style get old after a song or 2, never mind a whole career.

  69. �.... �....

  73. R.... J....

  74. R.... W....

    The mad shatter of laurel canyon

    Dental floss is made from a plant that only grows in Montana but it would be great if it grew out of the end of a cob of sweet corn :)
