Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
What That Is
What I see
Must be
Now!
To was or not to happen
Eating a wax-feathered sandwich
In the middle of nineteen-hundred and yesterday
Shut your mouth! [unintelligible grunting]
What'd you say? [unintelligible grunting]
Now!
There's a sack hanging in your head with your brains in it eating scalp chop suey, corroded biscuits, and bat's-knees soup, in a gas mask!
What that is!
What that ain't!
Now!
Whether with or without feathers
Give me that chicken
'Cause I'm waiting to see if I'm gonna change my mind
What that is!
What that ain't!
What that could be before it ain't was!
Yesteryear's coming back tomorrow!
This is now!
What that is, I say!
What that is!
What that is!
What that is!
What that is!
What that is!
What that is!
What that is!
