Lyrics The Origin Of Manx (Live) - Frank Zappa

Now this is the part of the song yes
It's rock 'n roll alright, look how cheap this is
Hey this is the part of the song where
I'm supposed to set you up for the next tune
Which is a little bit on the weird side, see?
And it also gives them a chance to get their music ready
You know, so yes, watch this
This song used to be called "Mars Needs Women"
But since Bozzio went to the Gilded Grape and
Sort of had a modification of his social life
Became very impressed with the MC
It's not just Punky's pictures that's influencing our drummer, you understand
Terry has fallen under the magic spell of the MC at the Gilded Grape
A man, a great man, a great MC, right up there with Don Pardo
A man that we have named Manx his real name is Timothy
We call him Manx 'cause of the way his haircut is
If you go to the Gilded Grape you can see Manx over on the side
With this little podium
Much like this thing here, and this little Arthur Godfrey mike
His champagne cocktail and his long, long, long cigarette
Which never gets short, short, short
And he's the guy that introduces all the fantastic dancers of the Grape
Make sure you go down there on Wednesday night
Try out the Grape, I'm sure you'll enjoy it
And now, "Manx Needs Women"
