Comments:

Touring versions from Foggy G's We're Only In It For The Touring:

1977-78
Essentially performed as on SATLTSADW, allowing for obvious differences in instrumentation, but with vocals! Yes, this instrumental ditty originally had vocals, sung by, of all people, Tommy Mars. Essentially, the song is about sex (surprise!), with the most ridiculous line being "Squat on my blaster".
1981-82
Essentially performed as on SATLTSADW. For the first couple weeks of tour, however, Chad played along in a majestic waltz style, and later switched to the inevitable reggae accompianment (as on SATLTSADW) that we all know and love. [Thanks to Pat Buzby, who likes the reggae rhythm better, for this info].

From: "Jason t. Gossard"
For the Fall '77 and Spring '78 tours, this tune frequently had
vocals, sung by Tommy Mars himself.

The lyrics:

Originally included at Reverend Neve's Zappa Page

You are, are my desire
Yoooou come to me
In dreams through a garden wall
It is covered with a lot of dew
And I suppose you're covered too
Just slightly wet
Better yet
You're my stew

You are, are my balloon
Yoooou come to me
In dreams through a .or two
It's covered with a lot of dew
And I suppose you're covered too
Just slightly wet
Better yet
Let's go screw

I'm screwing you
I'm screwing you
I'm screwing you
I'm screwing you
Oh boy, I'm doin' it!
I'm really neat
I'm really neat
You're really sweet
You're really sweet

In and out
Mmm, in and out
In and out
I'm going in and out
It's divine,
You are mine, you're so fine
Squat on my blaster, make it go faster
Squat on my blaster, make it go faster
(drum solo)
