Montana Songtext
von Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention

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)
