JB Morris' website has the lyrics to "Bulbous Bouffant" (
http://php.indiana.edu/~jbmorris/LYRICS/bulbous.bouffant.html ) Right
before the lyrics, there is a note that says that the track describes
a psychological disorder called Echolalia. Here is the definition I
found for echolalia at dictionary.com :

a psychological disorder called Echolalia. Here is the definition I
found for echolalia at dictionary.com :
"Psychiatry. The immediate and involuntary repetition of words or
phrases just spoken by others, often a symptom of autism or some types
of schizophrenia."
It's interesting to think of "Bulbous Bouffant" in that way,
especially since it appears to be nothing more than a celebration of
funny-sounding words.
All feeback is welcome.

Interesting indeed. I'd always considered "Bulbous Bouffant" to have
been modeled on Ernst Toch's "Gesprochene Musik" suite (best known for
its closing movement, "Fuge aus der Geographie" [Geographical Fugue]).
