Love is a burning thing
(That's right) And it leaves a fiery ring (That's a firey ring) I was captured by pure desire (That's right) I fell into a ring of fire (Ow! Ow! Ow!) I fell into a burning ring of fire I fell down down down And the flames licked up higher And it burns burns burns That ring of fire That ring of fire ("It's hot") Love ("It's hot") Is a burning thing (That's right, it's the same verse again) And it makes a fiery ring (It's one way of learning English) (Senator Hawkins: Pyromania) I was captured by pure desire (Pure desire) I fell into that burning ring of fire (Ow! Ow! Ow!) I fell into that burning ring of fire (Johnny'll never know what he missed) I fell down down down And those flames licked up higher And it burns burns burns That ring of fire That ring of fire That ring of fire That ring of fire That ring of fire |

The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-sight!" He said, for a nominal service charge, I could reach Nirvana t'nite If I was ready, willing 'n able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs And devote His Attention to me But I said . . . Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?) Look here brother, Don't you waste your time on me The Mystery Man got nervous An' he fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe An' he whipped out a shaving kit Now, I thought it was a razor An' a can of foamin' goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin' his box won't do With the oil of Afro-dytee An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo He said: "You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too!" An' I said . . . Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?) Look here brother, Don't you waste your time on me Don't waste yer time . . . I've got troubles of my own, I said An' you can't help me out So take your meditations an' your preparations An' ram it up yer snout "BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!", he said An' held it to the light So I snatched it All away from him An' I showed him how to do it right I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head So I'd look like I was Deep I said some Mumbo Jumbos then An' told him he was goin' to sleep I robbed his rings An' pocket watch An' everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn't even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future then As long as he was hanging around, I said "The price of meat has just gone up An' yer ol' lady has just gone down . . . " Look here brother, Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?) Don't you know, You could make more money as a butcher, So don't you waste your time on me (Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me . . . ) Ohm shonty, ohm shonty, ohm shonty-ohm SSHONTAY |

Find her, blind her, see who designed her, act like a dummy 'til you finally grind her. If you should see a girl on the street, now maybe you might think she is sweet, but if you wanna tickle her treat, now really what should you do? Don't never let her know you are smart. The universe is no place to start. You gotta play it straight from the heart, she gwine renunciate you. That's why you gotta Find her finer, sneak up behind her, unwrap like a mummy 'til you finally unwind her. Find her, blind her, see who designed her, act like a dummy 'til you finally grind her. Now maybe you might think this is crude, and maybe you might think I am rude, and maybe this approach I have spewed is not the one for you. But believe me later on you'll find, as you impress her with your mind, that you will just be left behind, for a wiser fool. So you might as well Find her finer, sneak up behind her, unwrap like a mummy 'til you finally unwind her. Find her, blind her, see who designed her, act like a dummy 'til you finally grind her. {repeat; fade out} |

Ike Willis (rhythm guitar, synthesizer, vocals) Mike Keneally (rhythm guitar, synthesizer, vocals) Bobby Martin (keyboards, vocals) Ed Mann (vibes, marimba, electronic percussion) Walt Fowler (trumpet, flugel horn, synthesizer) Bruce Fowler (trombone) Paul Carman (alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, baritone saxophone) Albert Wing (tenor saxophone) Kurt McGettrick (baritone saxophone, bass saxophone, contrabass clarinet) Scott Thunes (electric bass, mini-moog) Chad Wackerman (drums, electronic percussion) [This is spoken with the style and accent of an evangelist preacher from the southern United States.] Thank you very much, Mr. Zappa. Ah, I'm very pleased to be here on behalf of the Administration-- the most powerful government in the world. And, uh, Mr. Fitzwater invited me to come here tonight to create some balance, because there has been some things done by Mr. Zappa that I think are unfair to our country. I think, from the beginning, to say that this is going to be balanced, when he has this *lingerie* up here, and makin' fun of *children's toys*, as a beginning, if this is what he has in mind, I think he's wrong. It's people like Mr. Frank Zappa that kept the Senate from being able to send arms to the democratic freedom fighters in Nicaragua! And I, for one, am headin' down there myself, as soon as I finish up here tonight. And I want the elected official, Mr. Charlie Sanders the Democrat, to remember that "Democrat" begins with a "D", just like DEMON! And we'll remember you, friend, when it comes votin' time. And Margaret Boyd[?] and Carmen Belacord[?], despite ...[?] habit, did some help to back things up. Friends, these forms cost money. And this money could be going towards a more powerful military; this money could be going towards driving out the illegal aliens. Instead, Mr. Zappa wants to have a bunch of young, uninformed 18 to 21-year-olds votin' here, and spendin' your money. And I just want you to know that tonight, I *love* him anyway. Because I've got love in my heart, and I'm not afraid of the fact that he turned this into some kind of zoo up here. Sunday--that's not fair, Mr. Zappa--Sunday night used to be a night in which Americans would get together. They'd go to their place of worship, and they would share. And I don't know why, on this night which is supposed to be Valentine's night, there aren't more people that have a heart that have a love affair with America. But instead, they're here on Sunday night, worshipping this man who's demon-possessed! I ask you, Mr. Frank Zappa, what kind of man can name a child Moon Unit? What kind of man can name a child Weasel? What kind of man can name a child Ohman? To me, it defies the logic. And I'm comin' here tonight because I want to share with him, just the same way we're going to give spirit power to the democratic freedom fighters down there, our brothers that wanna have the freedom to be able to have a man like Pat Robertson. To have a man like Mr. Dole. Restore, America! And I'm gonna ask the power and the joy and the power of the living king of kings, and a lot of you here, you smut-minded, musical people say, "King of kings, that must be Elvis". No, I'm gonna ask for the power and ask for the glory. I'm gonna now, I'm gonna tell you a story. I'm gonna drive out the demons, friends. I'm gonna ask you to help this badness end. Come on Frank, let's have a story. Come on now share the glory. Do you feel the power? Come on, put out the negativity... |

Brian, I could use a little bit more monitor. Hello hello, can't you turn up any more than that? Hello hello, hey! Alright! Pardon me folks. The name of this song is Penguin in Bondage, An' it's a song that ah, deals with the possible variations on a basic theme which is...well, You understand what a basic theme is. And then the variations include ah, manoeuvres that might be executed with the aid of ah, extra-terrestrial gratification and devices which might or might not be supplied in a local department store or perhaps a drugstore but at very least in one of those fancy new shops that they advertise in the back-pages of the free press. This song suggests to the suggestible listener that the ordinary procedure ah, That I am circumlocuting at this present time in order to get this text on television, Is that ah, if you wanna do something other than what you thought you were gonna do when you first took your clothes off and you just happened to have some DEVICES around... Then it's, it's not only okay to get into the PARAPHERNALIA of it all but...Hey! What did he say? Ready? She's just like a penguin in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh... Rennenhenninnahenninnenninahennn Way over on the wet side Of the bed (Knirps for moisture) Just like the mighty Penguin Flappin' her eight ounce wings Lord, you know it's all over If she comes atcha on the strut & wrap 'em all around yer head Flappin her eight ounce wings, flappinumm She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy Shake up the pale-dry Ginger ale Tremblin' like a Penguin When the battery fail Lord, you must be havin' her jumpin' through a hoopa real fire With some Kleenex wrapped around a coat-hang wire She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh... Rennenhenninnahenninneninahenn Howlin' over to some Antarcticulated moon In the frostbite nite With her flaps gone white Shriekin' as she spot the hoop across the room Lord, you know it must be a Penguin bound down When you hear that terrible screamin' and there ain't no other Birds around She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh... She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh...

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there Just to land in the Andes? Was it round And did it have A motor Or was it Something Different Did a vehicle Did a vehicle Did a vehicle Fly along the mountains And find a place to park itself Or did someone Build a place To leave a space For such a vehicle to land Did a vehicle Come from somewhere out there Did a vehicle Come from somewhere out there Did the indians, first on the bill Carve up the hill Did a booger-bear Come from somewhere out there Just to land in the Andes? Was she round And did she have a motor Or was she something different Guacamole Queen Guacamole Queen Guacamole Queen Guacamole Queen At the Armadillo in Austin Texas, her aura, Or did someone build a place Or leave a space for Chester's Thing to land (Chester's Thing... on Ruth) Did a booger-beer Come from somewhere out there Did a booger-bear Come from somewhere out there Did the Indians, first on the bill Carve up her hill On Ruth On Ruth That's Ruth |

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooo-oooh And she's buying a stairway to Heaven There's a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure Cause you know sometimes words have Two meanings In a tree by the brook There's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misleading Oooh makes me wonder Oh-ooooh makes me wonder There's a feeling I get When I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking And oooh makes me wonder And oh-ooooh makes me wonder And it's whispered that soon If we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter Yes it makes me wonder And owowowow, no If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May-queen Yes there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on On and on Said ooooh makes me wonder And oh-oh-oh-ooooh makes me wonder Your head is humming and it won't go In case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady can you hear the wind blow And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind Say! Say! Mother, Mary & Yozuf! And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to know How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The news will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to Heaven |
