Lyrics for Joes Garage by Frank Zappa:
| | | Artist: | Frank Zappa |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Joes Garage | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 147 | | | | Lyrics: | A boring old garage in a residential area with a teen-age band rehearsing in it. JOE (the main
character in the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER'S Special Presentation) sings to us of the trials and
tribulations of garage-band husbandry.
Central Scrutinizer:
We take you now, to a
garage, in Canoga Park.
Frank Zappa:
(It makes it's own sauce...)
Joe:
It wasn't very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums
In the
corner over by the Dodge
It was a fifty-four
With a mashed up door
And a cheesy little
amp
With a sign on the front said ";Fender Champ";
And a second hand guitar
It was a
Stratocaster with a whammy bar
At this point, LARRY (a guy who will eventually give up
music and earn a respectable living as a roadie for a group called Toad-O) joins in the song...
Larry:
We could jam in Joe's Garage
His mama was screamin'
His dad was
mad
We was playin' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all
night long
It was all we knew, 'n' easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong
All we did was
bend the string like...
Hey!
Down in Joe's Garage
We didn't have no dope or LSD
But
a coupla quartsa beer
Would fix it so the intonation
Would not offend yer ear
And the
same old chords goin' over 'n' over
Became a symphony
We would play it again 'n' again 'n'
again
'Cause it sounded good to me
ONE MORE TIME!
We could jam in Joe's Garage
His
mama was screamin',
";TURN IT DOWN!";
We was playing' the same old song
In the afternoon
'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long
It was all we knew, and easy too
So we
wouldn't get it wrong
