The Orange County Lumber Truck
Zappa Mothers Lyrics

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...
This is the band's way of expressing their amusement and laughter.

Well, you may think I'm foolish
The singer understands that some people might consider him foolish.

For the foolish things I do
He's acknowledging the fact that he does things that might be seen as strange.

You may wonder how come I love you
There might be some confusion as to why the artist loves this person.

When you get on my nerves like you do
Even though they irritate him sometimes, he still loves this person.

Well, baby, you know you bug me
The singer is being honest and open about his feelings.

There ain't no secret 'bout that
These emotions aren't hidden.

Well, come on over here and hug me
Physical affection helps to strengthen their relationship.

Baby, I'll spill the facts
The artist is willing to be truthful.

Well, honey, it ain't your money
The artist doesn't love this person for their money.

'Cause, baby, I got plenty of that
He has enough money, so he doesn't need to rely on anyone else's.

I love you for your pink Cadillac
The artist loves the other person for something superficial, like a car.

Crushed velvet seats
The seats in the car are luxurious and comfortable.

Riding in the back
The singer is literally stunting in the backseat of the car.

Oozing down the street
This car is so flashy and ostentatious that it exudes a presence, like it's oozing.

Waving to the girls
The artist is being flirty and attracting attention from others.

Feeling out of sight
The artist is feeling like they're on top of the world, especially in the pink Cadillac.

Spending all my money
The singer is using up all of their money to have a good time, possible with the other person.

On a Saturday night
They're out having fun on the weekend together.

Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back
The artist is curious about what happens in the backseat, insinuating something dirty or naughty.

Of your pink Cadillac
The car is still a major focus of the lyrics.

Pink Cadillac
The song ends on the car's name.
