"don't eat the yellow snow" is a song about a man who dreams that he was an eskimo named nanook. his mother warns him "watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow." the song directly transitions into "nanook rubs it." the song is about nanook encountering a fur trapper "strictly from commercial" who is whipping nanook's "favorite baby seal" with a "lead-filled snow shoe." eventually nanook gets so mad he rubs husky "wee wee" into the fur trapper's eyes, blinding him. according to the lyrics, this scene is destined to take the place of "the mud shark" (a song from the live album "fillmore east – june 1971") in zappa mythology. zappa then sings in the fur trapper's perspective. the fur trapper then makes his way to the parish of st. alfonzo, introducing the next song "st. alfonzo's pancake breakfast."
