Sunrise

Get up in the mornin

You know, I dig this mornin

The sun is shinin bright

Im gonna get outside

Gonna wash my face

Grab my hat

Put it on my head

I take a walk downtown

Yeah... because I feel so-oh good

I think Im gonna take a walk downtown

Hey! sunrise!

Wo!

Somethin I never seen before

Been walkin down the street every day

Nobody like you ever passed my way

Maybe it must be too much sun

Couldnt be my hat, must be too much...

Wait a minute! is that you?

Whats that? ...what, whats that? ...

What, whats that? ...what? ...

Dummy up

What is that? ...

I know what that is, I know what that is...

I bet you thats a restaurant menu...

Let me see!...let me see!

Not only do you get the desenex burger

What?

Not only...the desenex burger

Well you are in for a real treat, jim

Wait a minute...i think I like that dance better than...

What are you talkin about, creep?

What Im talkin about is youve been in this killer fog down here too long

What?

You need somethin to get up and go to school with

Wait a minute, youre not talkin to an old fool now,

You know I wasnt born yesterday!

Heh heh heh!

Wait a minute...

I like that little dance you were doin there...

(jeff simmons tries to corrupt napoleon murphy brock by showing him a lewd dance and suggesting that hed smoke a high-school diploma...)

Hey! wait a minute!

Hey this, this stuff...

I never seen one of these before...thats not a menu...

This stuff is expensive

What is that?

You shoot it, youll conserve all winter.

I do what?

It lasts longer

(not only do you get the desenex burger)

Now come on, try it.

No, no.

Its really good.

No. smoke that? !

Have I ever lied to you?

Have I ever seen you before?

I dont, I dont even know you!

Look...

I dont even know what that is!

And youre drivin me to smoke it? !...

Just before, we smoked the tapes that you made.

Smoked the tapes?

Smoked the tapes of your group.

I think Im with the damned.

You can really get off.

Lets try a joint of this.

A what?

A joint.

You mean this kinda joint?

No man!

Where you been in livin? ...reseda?

No, san jose.

(the evil dope pusher is cutting up a white gym sock, formerly owned by carl zappa and still damp. the shredded sock will be placed inside of a high-school diploma and ignited with a sulphur-pre

Ion... his first taste of big city life!...)

Thats okay, wait...

Hey! the roach of this is really gonna be good, so ill...

Have mercy!

What do you do with that thing?

What do you do with that thing? yeah!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

What do you do with that thing?

I wanna know!

Wait a minute!

(now the next step of this operation: the evil corrupter of youth is going to take him from step one, which is a mere high-school diploma stuffed with a gym sock, to step two, which is a college

Ee stuffed with absolutely nothing at all. smoke that and itll really get you out there!...)

I still dont feel as good as I felt this mornin...yeah yeah...

(youll grow out of it...)

Dummy up!

I heard it again, somebody said...

You see this?

Wait a minute!...

College!

College!

Thats college-rhythm.

You mean if I smoke that, its the same as this,

As if I was at college?

Roll it on up!

Roll it on up!

Roll it on up!

Give me that!...

No no, the college degree is stuffed with absolutely nothing at all.

You get, you get nothing with your college-degree...

But thats what I want!

I forgot, Im sorry...

Well, if you get nothin, well thats what I want.

(a true zen saying: nothing is what I want. the results of a higher education...)
