Mothers at KPFK Songtext
von Frank Zappa

I′d like to dedicate an ode to Joe Lattanzi who played third base for the North-American Italian. Oh, Joe
Oh, Joe! Joe, Roy. Oh, Joe
Where you going with that thing in your pants?
This is Bunk Sweet Pants Gardner
Sock it to him, guy
Why don't you step out here and pack it to me, Art? Glistening white skin, Art
Roy, what did Frank always say? He said we could say anything we want to, didn′t he?
Corn on that cob
You'd better take care of all those kids, especially Geronimo, Darrell, Gary
Ay, Indio, Indio? Kim
Jina, and Kim
I'm here from Calif, ay
Calif, California!?: Calif! Oh, man
All right, Santa Ana, California
Roy and Jim have a special kind of form of communication... To illustrate this point we′ll now have a conversation between Roy and Jim I refuse
As if, as if it was happening in the back seat of a car in San Francisco
How ′bout you?
How 'bout you?
How ′bout you? Pink?
Yeah
Sure?
Mhm
Mhm-hm-mhm
Estáis loco, indio
Caray, hombre
Estás loco
Estás loco, estás loco
Wannanenema? Wannanenema?
The recipe is available by mail.

Wanna wanna wannanenema
Yeah-nema
WOAHH
RAY COLLINS, WE LOVE YOU


We'll never forget you
No
We′ll never forget you

Now, ladies and gentlemen, Don Preston
I have an organ, a piano, a harpsichord uh, uh, forty-five oscillators and uh, that′s my instruments
I've got a uh, bass clarinet, and a clarinet, and a piccolo, and a flute and an alto flute, and a tenor and an alto, and a soprano, and a chanter, and a C melody
I have a low cowbell, and a hi cowbell.?: Oh, Art!?: You never heard about that, did you?
I have a snare drum and I have a hi tom tom and a low tom tom, I have four melody horns, and they go beep, and I have a slapstick which Don Preston graciously gave to me
And caresses now
And it goes pap, and uh, then I have Ga—, Bunk Gardner, and whenever I goose him, he goes 'Bunk′
Bunk Bunk
Bunk
Bunk Bunk
Ian: The other half of the percussion section is Jimmy Carl Black who plays
I have a red set of drums
How you doin′ Gary
Ian: And when, and when the whole band gets together, and plays all these wonderful instruments it sounds like this...
