My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama Lyrics

You know your Mama, and your Daddy
Saying I'm no good for you
They call me dirty, from the alley
Till I don't know what to do

I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your Mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"
I can't take it!

My guitar wants to kill your Mama
My guitar wants to kill your Mama
My guitar wants to burn your Dad
I get real mean when it makes me mad

Later I tried to call you
Your Mama told me you weren't there
She told me: "Don't bother to call again"
'Less I cut off all my hair

I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your Mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"

Later I tried to call you
Your Mama told me you weren't there
She told me: "Don't bother to call again"
'Less I cut off all my hair

I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your Mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"

My guitar wants to kill your Mama
My guitar wants to kill your Mama
My guitar wants to burn your Dad
I get real mean when it makes me mad

Cover art for My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama lyrics by Frank Zappa

It's a rebel song. Every teenage dude thinks he has a deathly guitar in him somewhere. But Frank actually wielded one.

The fact that every other bad-ass guitar wielding maniac did this song is testimony to Franks axe-swinging skills. Satriani, Vai, Johnson, even Allman, tossed this out there. But I've got to admit, Dweezil takes it to another level.

From reading the lyrics I get the sense that this song is about how parents of Zappa's fans didn't want their children listing to him. His "guitar" will symbolize rock. Hence, rock want to kill you parents because they are anti-rock. Does that sound right?

I think that's pretty much dead on, Philadelphia Eagles! Zappa appeared before Congess in the mid 1980's to defend and debate "objectionable" lyrics and artists rights. Some dialog snippets from this appear on the CD 'Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention'.

According to Zappa this song was pretty much made just to appeal to a mainstream audience

I just made a T-shirt with the title. It's pink. I'm so happy I could cry.

(I think it's pretty obvious what this song is about)
