A lovely little ditty about anal sex. There was something going on with the Lone Ranger at the time, and -- of course -- Zappa & Willis incorporated as much of the silliness into the tune as possible.

Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!

Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy (Hi-Yo!)
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy

Roll it over 'n grease it down
I'll drive you through the heart of town

Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy

Roll it over 'n grease it down (Hi-Yo, Silver!)
I'll drive you through the heart of town

Hey, the good women, they sure has it tough
The good men, well there just ain't enough
All the good girls are lookin' all the time
Good SILVER is something that they can't find
'Cause if they find one miraculously
They try to be lovin' as they can be
'Cause if they find one and let him go
Chances are they might not never find one no mo'
So they ...

Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy (Away!)
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy

Roll it over 'n grease it down (Hi-Yo!)
I'll drive you through the heart of town

A good lovin' man is hardest to find
A good woman needs to ease her mind
I know a few that need to ease it behind
All y'gotta do is grease it down
'N everything is fine

Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy

Roll it over 'n grease it down
I'll drive you through the heart of town

A girl don't need
No fancy grease
To get herself
Some rump release
Any kind
Of lube'll do
Maybe from another
Part of you
Lube from the North
Lube from the South
Take a little slobber (Hi-Yo, Silver!)
From the side of your mouth
From your mouth
From your mouth
From your mouth
Grease it down
Here come that crazy
Screamin' sound ...

Hi-Yo, Silver! Ah-ah-ah!
Thank you, Masked Man!
Hi-Yo Silver! Ah-ah-ah!
Hi ... Hi-Yo, Silver!
(Oh, God ... Okay, everybody!)
Hi-Yo, Silver!

Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Roll it over 'n grease it down, down, down
Grease it down ...
Oh no no no! Here comes that screamin' sound again ...
