It's Zappa time once again, the Genius of Progressive Rock.

Story behind the song
I try to stay off the beaten path when performing covers, and this is no exception. It's one of Frank Zappa's far lesser known songs, from an album I'll bet a lot of his fans have never listened to, called "Zoot Allures". I absolutely love the genius of Zappa, although it's difficult to cover even his seemingly "easy" songs... This is a great example of that, very deceptive. Both this song and that album are definitely among my Zappa favorites.
Guess I should warn you in advance that this is probably considered a "PG"-rated tune, but what Zappa song isn't?

Lyrics
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy 'til you finally unwind her
Find her, blind her, see who designed her
Act like a dummy 'til you finally grind her
If you should see a girl on the street
Now maybe you might think she is sweet
But if you wanna tickle her treat
Now really, what should you do?
Don't never let her know you are smart
The universe is nowhere to start
You gotta play it straight from the heart
She gwine renunciate you
That's why you gotta...
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy 'til you finally unwind her
Find her, blind her, see who designed her
Act like a dummy 'til you finally grind her
Now maybe you might think this is crude
And maybe you might think I am rude
And maybe this approach I have spewed
Is not the one for you
But believe me later on you'll find
As you impress her with your mind
That you will just be left behind
For a wiser fool
So you might as well...
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy 'til you finally unwind her
Find her, blind her, see who designed her
Act like a dummy 'til you finally grind her...
