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

Holding The Group Back

Roy: Domino, Domino, Domino Biz-bo-OH
Domino Biz-bo-OH, Amen, Domino Biz-bo, Hallelujah, eh…
Ian: 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!
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…
