The Final Word
Track Name: Lonely Little Girl [© 1967 zft]
From the Album: LUMPY MONEY copyright 2008 Zappa Records
This is the original SINGLE that preceded the release of We're Only In It For The Money in 1967. It is unique in concept and construct and certainly bears no resemblance or assemblance (and why should it) to anything that was current then, on or off the charts. LUMPY MONEY is it's debut on a CD.
