Frank Zappa/The Mothers - Holding The Group Back Lyrics

Lyrics Holding The Group Back - Frank Zappa , The Mothers of Invention



FZ: Then, from out of the corner from the stage,
Comes Roy Ralph Estrada, perturbed at the present
Situation within the Mothers.
Roy: Domino, Domino, Domino Biz-bo-OH,
Domino Biz-bo-OH, Amen, Domino Biz-bo, Hallelujah, eh...
FZ: Et cum spiritu tuo...
Roy: Ian, I don't think I qualify for the Mothers
(FZ: They're making up their lines
As they go along, isn't it thrilling?)
Ian: Why, Roy?
Roy: Because I don't think I'm qualified.
I think, I think I'm holding the group back because I'm a MEXICAN.
And also because I don't play bass good.
Ian: I don't care how you can play bass but
We have NO MEXICANS in this group.
Roy: And I wanna join your group.
Ian: No Mexicans!
Roy: I can sing opera, I have already quit,
I cut my hair, I got all my shit together here. I can do it.
Ian: I don't care how you look you gotta be able to cut the part.
Roy: I can sing. Please. Please, Ian, give me a CHANCE.
Ian: I don't believe you can sing.
Roy: Ah, PLEASE! Ah, Ian, please, hear my PLEA!
PLEASE, IAN! PLE-E-E-EASE!
I can do it, give me a CHANCE! PLEASE!
Please, IAN!
(FZ: Try me!)
Roy: BWAH-AH-AH-AH! Please!
Ian: Okay Mexican
Roy: Please?
Ian: Okay Mexican
Roy: Okay.
Ian: Sing this note:
Roy (with JCB):
You think everything gonna be alright.
Ian: Okay. You passed the first part of your audition.
Now you gotta sing...
Roy: Mi, mi, mi, mi...
