Don't Eat The Yellow Snow Lyrics
Dreamed I was an Eskimo
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frozen wind began to blow
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Under my boots 'n around my toe
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frost had bit the ground below
(Boop-boop aiee-ay-ah!)
Was a hundred degrees below zero
(Booh!)
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
And my momma cried:
Boo-a-hoo hoo-ooo
And my momma cried:
Nanook-a, no no (no no . . . )
Nanook-a, no no (no no . . . )
Don't be a naughty Eskimo-wo-oh
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Save your money: don't go to the show
Well I turned around an' I said:
HO HO
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said:
HO HO
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an' I said:
HO HO
An' the Northern Lites commenced t' glow
An' she said
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop . . . )
With a tear in her eye:
WATCH OUT WHERE THE HUSKIES GO
AN' DON'T YOU EAT THAT YELLOW SNOW
WATCH OUT WHERE THE HUSKIES GO
AN' DON'T YOU EAT THAT YELLOW SNOW

Just good advise. follow this and you will probly not get VD
The album Apostrophe contains:
Don't Eat the Yellow Snow Nanook Rubs It St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast Father O'Blivion Cosmik Debris
...which can be found in a single MP3 on the web, so that's one version you might have heard. Other versions omit Cosmik Debris (rightly so - it's not part of the medley). The single version combines Don't Eat the Yellow Snow with parts of Nanook Rubs it. There are a couple other versions bigger fans than I will better tell you about.
The best version is on You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1, which goes through the Nanook Rubs It storyline as well.
Someone should transcribe that.
It also has the "really exciting part of the show", with purported audience participation.
Typical Zappa "shaggy dog" story. Silly, stupid & fun. Zappa always knows how to deliver it.
i have heard two versions which are quite different to this.....
If only i could be bothered to write them out....
there is an album version, a different live version, and the single version to my knowledge.
i want to say this is the album version.
this is not complete no matter what youve heard :\
This is the album version. There is also a version with most of this, and most of "Nanook rubs it".
Album version is a scant two minutes and has the lyrics you see here. The single version has parts of Nanook Rubs It as the last guy said. The most notable live version runs 20 minutes and has all four parts of the Apostrophe medley, plus some audience participation I believe.
ah, there is a longer, version than the nanook rubs it part, its lie... 6 minutes long, unless this is the one and someone didnt get the part that was like a story
