From: Vladimir Sovetov <sova@kpbank.ru>
  From The Real FZ Book
  Because I recorded a song called "Son of Mr. Green Genes" on the Hot Rats album in 1969, people have belived for years that the character with the name on the Captain Kangaroo TV show ... was my "real" Dad.
From: Vladimir Sovetov
  May be it worth to note that a real name of kids TV show "Captain Kangaroo" (CBS, 1955-1985) character was Mr. Green Jeans.

  Lyrics seems to be directly related to the Absolutely Free. The Duke of Prunes suite
  From what appears to be AF liners note
  "The Duke of Prunes is surrealistic love songs. Euphemistic sexual imagery popular in country blues tunes, ..., is transmuted in this popular piece from the basic '- - - me, suck me, till my eyes roll back, baby' to 'prune me, cheese me, go-kart...' or something like that"
