Motherly love
Motherly love
Forget about
The brotherly and other--ly love
Motherly love
Is just the thing for you
You know your Mothers' gonna love ya
Till ya don't know what to do
The Mothers got love
That'll drive ya mad
They're ravin' 'bout the way we do
No need to feel lonely . . .
No need to feel sad,
If we ever get a hold on you
What you need is . . .
Motherly love
(Come on, get it now)
Motherly love
Forget about
The brotherly and other--ly love
Motherly love
Is just the thing for you
You know your Mothers' gonna love ya
Till ya don't know what to do
Nature's been good
To this here band
Don't ever think we're shy
Send us up some little groupies
And we'll take their hands
And rock 'em till they sweat and cry
What you need is . . .

You'd best believe that's true
We'll bite your neck
And scratch your back

As for interpretations of the song currently under discussion, from the cleverly-titled Freak Out! LP. I particularly appreciate:
"Nature's been good to this here band"
(that the band has all male members is an issue not ever likely even to, uh, reach the floor. for debate, I mean. specifically: none of the dudes perform-ing would possess fewer than, let's say...eight inches?)
and:
"Don't ever think we're shy; send us up some..."
--> they're not the slightest bit standoffish. one could presume they'd provide EXtra-special close attention to any, uh listeners with a good pair of hey headphones yeah that's it
I love Frank Zappa.
