Pound For A Brown
Zappa Mothers Lyrics

"Pound For A Brown" is a song by the American rock band, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. The song is a part of their album "Uncle Meat" and has a psychedelic rock sound to it. The lyrics are difficult to grasp at first, but upon examining them, it becomes clear that the song is about a drug deal gone wrong. Zappa tells the story of a guy who agrees to sell a pound of marijuana to someone, and then uses the money to purchase his own stash of drugs. However, the guy gets ripped off and ends up with fake drugs.

The song's title "Pound For A Brown" is actually a drug reference. "Pound" is a slang term for a pound of marijuana and "Brown" is a slang term for heroin. The song has a jazzy jam session towards the end, which is characteristic of Frank Zappa's music. The song features an interplay between different instruments, such as drums, guitar, bass, saxophone, and trumpet.
