Song: Dinah-Moe Humm Artist: Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention Album: Over-nite Sensation (1973) [INTRO] Muted strumming with open top e strings on the first 2 beats. [VERSE 1]
  E                         F#
I couldn't say where she's comin' from,

      E                     D         A
But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm.

    E                        F#
She strolled on over, said, "look here, bum,

         E                         F#                A                   G
Me got a forty-dollar bill saying you can't make me cum - you just can't do it."
[VERSE 2]
           E                            F#
She made a bet with her sister who's a little bit dumb,

      E                         D        A
She could prove it any time all men was scum.

E                        F#
I don't mind that she called me a bum,

       E                      F#            A                 G
But I knew right away she was really gonna cum, so I got down to it.
[VERSE 3]
  E                            F#
I whipped off her bloomers 'n stiffened my thumb

      E                     D     A
And applied rotation on her sugar plum

    E                        F#
I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb

         E                 F#         A
But I still didn't hear no Dinah-Moe Humm

         G
Dinah-Moe Humm
[CHORUS]
D          E    D          E
Dinah-Moe Humm, Dinah-Moe Humm,

D            E         D      E
Where's this Dinah-Moe comin' from?

D       E          D           E           D
I done spent three hours and I ain't got a crumb

         A     D    A     D    A     D
From the Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe,

         E         A
From the Dinah-Moe Humm.
[BRIDGE]
      E
Got a spot that gets me hot, ow!

    D                             A
And you ain't been to it (No, no, no, no!)

      E
Got a spot that gets me hot, ow!

    D                            A
And you ain't been to it (No, no, no!)

      E
Got a spot that gets me hot,

    D                             A
But you ain't been to it (No, no, no, no!)

      E
Got a spot that gets me hot,

    D                      A
But you ain't been to it (No!)

      E
Cause I can't get into it unless I get out of it,

    D                                A
And I gotta get out of it before I get into it,

      E
Cause I never get into it unless I get out of it,

    D                                A
And I gotta be out of it to get myself into it.

E                              D
She looked over at me with a glazed eye,

         E                          D
And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area,

              E                              D
And she said, "just get me wasted and you're half-way there,

            E                      D
Cause if my mind's tore up then my body don't care."

            E
I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin and said

D          E                             D
"My-my-my, what sort of thing might this lady get high upon?"

   E                              D
I checked out her sister who was holdin' the bet,

             E                           D
And wondered what kind of trip the young lady was on.

    E                          D
The forty-dollar bill didn't matter no more,

          E                    D
When her sister got naked and laid on the floor.

           E               D
She said, "Dinah-Moe might win the bet,

              E            N.C.      D
But she could use a little (ow) if I wasn't done yet."

             E                            D
I told her, "just because the sun want a place in the sky,

   E                           D
No reason to assume I wouldn't give her a try."

     E                           D
So I pulled on her hair, got her legs in the air,

    E                    D
And asked if she had any cooties in there.

E                         D
(Whaddya mean cooties! No cooties on me!)

        E               D
She was buns-up kneelin', (buns up!)

      E                   D
I was wheelin' 'n dealin', (wheelin' and dealin' and ooh)

       E                     D
She surrender to the feelin', (she sweetly surrendered)

       E                       D
And she started in to squealin'.

E                         D
Dinah-Moe watched from the edge of the bed,

         E                             D
With her lips just a-twitchin' and her face gone red.

     E                          D
Some drool rollin' down from the edge of her chin,

         E                       D
While she spied the condition her sister was in.

    E                        D
She quivered and quaked, and clutched at herself,

          E                           D
While her sister made a joke about her mental health,

     E                 D
Till Dinah-Moe finally did give in

               E                              D
But I told her all she really needed was some discipline.

E             D
Kiss my aura, Dora.

E                D
Mmm, it's real angora.

E                       D
Would y'all like some more-a?

E                  D
Right here on the flora?

    E                        D
And how 'bout you, Fauna? You wanna?

E                       D
Mmm sound like you're chokin' on somethin'. (oh)

E                         D
Did you say you want some more?

D
Well, here's some more!

E        D
(Oh, baby)

E        D
Oh, sure look,

    E
You think I could interest you

             D
In a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers?

E           D
(That's it, tweezers)

E            D
Mmm, tweezers!

E                                   D
Wait a minute, let me sterilize 'em, give me your lighter.

  E                         F#
I couldn't say where she's comin' from,

      E                     D         A
But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm.

    E                        F#
She strolled on over, said, "look here, bum,

         E                         D                A
Me got a forty-dollar bill saying you can't make me cum - you just can't do it."

  E                            F#
I whipped off her bloomers 'n stiffened my thumb

      E                         D        A
And applied rotation on her sugar plum

    E                        F#
I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb

         E                D          A
And you know I heard some Dinah-Moe Humm!

         G
Dinah-Moe Humm.

     A                       G
Some Dinah-Moe, and a little Dinah-Moe,

     A                       G
And some Dinah-Moe, and some Dinah-Moe,

     A                            G
And some Dinah-Moe, and a little Dinah-Moe,

     A                       G
And some Dinah-Moe, and some Dinah-Moe,

     A                     G
And some Dinah-Moe, and a Dinah-Moe again,

     A                       G
And Dinah-Moe, and Dora too, lil' Dinah 'n Dora,

     A                  G
And Dinah-Moe, Kiss my aura, Dinah-Moe.#
