“A Piece of Contemporary Music” Songtext
von Frank Zappa

Now, boys and girls (yes, of course)
Too soon, right?
Alright

We were rehearsing downstairs in the...
They have a little dungeon down there where they keep the help and...
Some of our rehearsal might have accidently leaked up
Through the air conditioning system during the prelude to our program

What we were doing was experimenting around
With combinations of woodwind instruments, you know
Because we wanted to give a world premiere
Of a piece of contemporary music here tonight
But the only fitting (Albert Ayler, ladies and gentlemen)
Oh, this is gonna be so wretched


Now, some of these fellows know how to play the instruments
And some of them don′t
Guess who's who
They′ll pass among you and you can vote on them

Aynsley Dunbar, ladies and gentlemen

Now let's get him out here
Dick Barber, ladies and gentlemen
Go on, Dick

The name of this song is "The Return Of The Hunchback Duke"

"The Return Of The Hunchback Duke" is a combination
Of various things from old records
There's some stuff from "Burnt Weeny Sandwich"
Mostly from side two
"Little House I Used To Live In" and it ends with "Cruising For Burgers"
From the Uncle Meat record
Oh, you already know how it goes, we won′t even play it

Ready
Yeah
One, two, three, one, two
