CAMARILLO BRILLO
Frank Zappa

VERSE 1:
E            B         A      F#m     G#m           C#m
She had that Camarillo Brillo flamin' out along her head
E          B        A    F#m           G#m              C#m
I mean her Mendcino Bino by where some bugs had made it red
E             B                  A      F#m       G#m        C#m
She ruled the toads of the short forest and every newt in Idaho
E         B               A        F#m    G#m          C#m
And every cricket who had chorused by the bush in Buffalo
E            B           A    F#m           G#m            C#m
She said she was a magic mama and she could throw a mean Tarot
E           B            A     F#m          G#m              C#m
And carried on without a comma that she was someone I should know

CHORUS:
D                     A          G  D
She had a snake for a pet and an amulet
D                      A              G           D
And she was breeding a dwarf, but she wasn't done yet
        E          B       F#m         C#m
She had gray-green skin, a doll with a pin
           B                      A                (end of verse riff)
I told her she was alright, but I couldn't come in
(I couldn't come in right then)

VERSE 2:
E          B                    A       F#m         G#m           C#m
And so she wandered through the doorway just like a shadow from a tomb
E            B          A        F#m          G#m            C#m
She said her stereo was four-way and I'd just love it in her room
E           B              A        F#m        G#m            C#m
Well, I was born to have adventure, so I just followed up the steps
E              B              A        F#m          G#m           C#m
Right past her fuming incense stencher to where she hung her castinettes
E             B              A      F#m          G#m          C#m
She stripped away her rancid poncho and laid out naked by the door
E          B             A      F#m        G#m        C#m
We did it 'til we were unconcho and it was useless anymore

CHORUS:
D                     A          G  D
She had a snake for a pet and an amulet
D                      A              G           D
And she was breeding a dwarf, but she wasn't done yet
        E          B       F#m         C#m
She had gray-green skin, a doll with a pin
           B                      A                (end of verse riff)
I told her she was alright, but I couldn't come in

VERSE 3: (actually 2/3 of VERSE 1 + last 1/3 of VERSE 2)
E          B                    A       F#m         G#m           C#m
And so she wandered through the doorway just like a shadow from a tomb
E            B          A        F#m          G#m            C#m
She said her stereo was four-way and I'd just love it in her room
E           B              A        F#m        G#m            C#m
Well, I was born to have adventure, so I just followed up the steps
E              B              A        F#m          G#m           C#m
Right past her fuming incense stencher to where she hung her castinettes
E            B           A    F#m           G#m            C#m
She said she was a magic mama and she could throw a mean Tarot
E           B            A     F#m          G#m              C#m
And carried on without a comma that she was someone I should know
(Is that a real poncho?)
(I mean, is that a Mexican pancho? Or a Sears pancho?)
(Hmmm... No foolin')
