TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES

Written: Fort Bliss TX, fall 1969

 

It must have been a slow day at the warfront when Knees wrote these lyrics. They show that his contrarian spirit was already well in place by 1969. Probably inspired by William Burroughs’ Naked Lunch, it turned into a nifty little anthem to non-conformity.

 

You know it’s perfectly natural

To pick away at your nose

Yes it’s perfectly natural

Take off your clothes.

 

You know it’s perfectly natural

Any way she blows

Yes it’s perfectly natural

Take off your clothes.

 

You know that you got hair

To keep you warm where you need it

You also got a mouth

To make you grow so why not feed it?

 

You know it’s perfectly natural

To lick away at her toes

Yes it’s perfectly natural

Take off your clothes.

 

You know it’s perfectly natural

When it flows it flows

Yes it’s perfectly natural

Take off your clothes.
