Frank Zappa - Dance Contest lyrics

[Frank Zappa - Dance Contest lyrics]

"One of, one of the things that I like best
About playing in New York
Is this particular place
Because it has - it has a
Stage that is conducive to, how
You say in the trade, audience participation
Now if there's one thing that
I really like, it's, uh
Audience participation now listen i gotta
Figure out something that I can
Uh - do you think we should have another
Dance contest tonight? Oh, hey - the
Injured person dance contest ah, well
Let's seeawright, I'll tell you what we're
Going to do here's a, here's a
Guy who really wants to be in
The dance contest aw reety, aw-righty
Hey okay"

"You are great, man - you are
Great you are the best
Baby do 'Dinah-Moe Humm'"

"All right, now wait a minute

"Awright, the dynamic Butch here's
Here's a girl that wants to dance
With Butch what's your name?"

"Lena"

Message to deliver to all
The cute people all over the
World if you're out there and you're cute
Maybe you're beautiful

Mother-fuckers than you are, hey-y

Now this - they'll be mashed, I'll save them

"I'm not a fucking queer"

"This man is trying desperately
To let everybody
Know that he's not a queer he's
Not queer, he's not queer awright, and
Now you are going to dance
Like you've never danced before"
