The Fez Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Counterclockwerk 

Cover art for The Fez lyrics by Steely Dan

Fez on sounds exactly like faison in French, which means "do it", so the song becomes "don't make me do it without the do it" - but in the colloquial French it means permission, essentially. So there is a hidden double meaning implying rape - which is perfectly consistent with the entire album, The Royal Scam. Every song is about a criminal act, culminating with the greatest criminal being the government.
