Q&A
Harry, You're a Beast Lyrics
I'm gonna tell you the way it is
And I'm not gonna be kind or easy
Your whole attitude stinks, I say
And the life you lead is completely empty
You paint your head
Your mind is dead
You don't even know what I just said
THAT'S YOU: AMERICAN WOMANHOOD!
You're phony on top
You're phony underneath
You lay in bed & grit your teeth
MADGE, I WANT YOUR BODY!
HARRY, GET BACK!
MADGE, IT'S NOT MERELY PHYSICAL!
HARRY, YOU'RE A BEAST!
Don't come in me, in me
Don't come in me, in me
Don't come in me, in me
Don't come in me, in me
[Distorted noises]
[Sobbing noises]
MADGE, I... MADGE... I COULDN'T HELP IT...
I... DOGGONE IT!
And I'm not gonna be kind or easy
Your whole attitude stinks, I say
And the life you lead is completely empty
Your mind is dead
You don't even know what I just said
You're phony underneath
You lay in bed & grit your teeth
HARRY, GET BACK!
MADGE, IT'S NOT MERELY PHYSICAL!
HARRY, YOU'RE A BEAST!
Don't come in me, in me
Don't come in me, in me
Don't come in me, in me
[Distorted noises]
[Sobbing noises]
I... DOGGONE IT!

Another Zappa critique of cultural happenings. This one is about a man raping his wife. Misogynistic man named Harry is the point of view and he's speaking to his wife who is a house wife. Then it switches back and forth between the two when she's like "harry get back!" This goes on until the "Don't come in me" which is her again. After that it switches back to him speaking.
