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...
