Paladin Routine #1 Songtext
von Frank Zappa

Have gun
Will travel reads the card of a man (man, man)
A soldier of fortune in a savage land

As we join Paladin and his good friend
Hey Boy in a plush San Francisco lobby
We find Hey Boy stimulated
As running down the stairs of a plush hotel
Running up to Paladin and fame

Hey, Paladin, what you want?
You want pineapple chicken?
You want almond duck?

Barbecue pork?
Sesame seed pork?
Sony tape recorder to your leg
Who you′re in a bird house
What you want?


No, Hey Boy
Just get a room for me and my sister
And if anybody asks where I am
Tell them this

Paladin, you can gesture hypnotically
And Paladin does gesture hypnotically
To bring forth the ill-fated card of love
Danger and suspicion

Hant, tant
Hant, tant
Hant, tant
Hant, tant

Hant, tant, tant
Hant, tant, tant
Peeeeeeee
Now we have to tune up

I'd like to dedicate this show to Duane Allman
Yay (whoa)
Hey

Now, you have friends down
Some sort of changes
You are better off on your own
