Father O’Blivion – Part 2 Songtext
von Frank Zappa

Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Fowler
With a genuine jazz avant-garde jazz trombone solo
Now as if that weren′t enough for Halloween
Bruce Fowler has invented a special imported Mormon jazz ballet
Which is brought to us all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah

And he and his lovely assistant Napoleon
Are gonna demonstrate this fantastic relic
Of the be-bop age for you
Right here live on stage at the Auditorium Theatre
Pay close attention now
Don't take your eyes off their feet for a moment
Here they go

This is be-bop
Even though you think it doesn′t sound like that
Hey, it sort of sounds like be-bop
But I'm not sure, George, it's so abstract


George, let me tell you something, George
You are not gonna get any pussy in Chicago singing be-bop
You know what I mean?
Oh yeah
As I was saying

Yeah, now that′s ethereal, George
You know, the kids can get into that
It′s sort of psychedelic with a rising upward motion

George, George
George, it's growing on me
I think I... I think even I could learn to enjoy be-bop
Please, George, sing me some more be-bop

Oh, that′s so suave
Oh, yeah
But meanwhile, over in the corner
Ruth "Still smelling as good as the last show"
Underwood is ready to play her hot be-bop lick on the marimba
Take it away, Ruth

Rhapsodic

Contestant number one, Ralph Humphrey
Contestant number two, Chester Thompson


I wanna tell you one thing right here
Wanna tell you one thing right now
Well, you run around, you sure got a little gas
All you need is some Earth Nine tonic

It'll cure your gas
Rheumatism
Funky feet
Bad breath
Bad ears
Action years
Bad hair
Yeah

Thank you
