[Frank Zappa - Earl Of Duke lyrics]
That is the sound of a
Very short cymbal it's a
Finger cymbal it's something that's normally
Worn on the finger, and another one is
Worn on the thumb the thumb and
The finger are beaten together with
These two little metal things to
Make it go ding, ding, ding george Duke is
Now applying an ingenious technique, to the
Finger cymbal it'self, as a prelude
A preamble to some sort of fantastic
Keyboard solo that he's going to
Invent for you right here on the
Spot we don't know what he's
Going to do we never know what
George is going to do
And perhaps it's best for all of us it'd
Better be best for all of us
I'm getting to like that that
Was called a push beat
I thought it was a grace note
I thought it was a booger bear
Yes, you you would think so
But then, as he was thinkin' about whether
It was a booger bear or not
Somethin' happen'd well
Just like it did last
Show and somethin' started
A-rumblin' and then all of a sudden it
Got LOUDER! And it got LOUDER! And it
Got LOUDER until I couldn't stand it!
WOW! Goodness gracious! And then somethin'
Oh, why don't you sharpen it then?
Something else happened it was midnight
And Ruth wouldn't come through
Midnight in the laboratory of a
Nationally known mad scientist
I told her i told her, I said
"It ain't gonna hurt you" But then
But then but then ow
Can you feel it now
You know what I'm talking about, Napi
I'm comin' down in a minute
I'm comin' down there
(Come on, down, come on)
Ruth has got the lick alright go on, Ruth
Give the gong player some!
Give the Give the gong player some
Now we're gonna continue on, we're just
Gonna melt away into another tune this
Is a love song of sorts
You know, it's a little bit tweaked
But it's one of those ones
You gotta stick in the show somewhere
There ready? One, two, three, four
Very short cymbal it's a
Finger cymbal it's something that's normally
Worn on the finger, and another one is
Worn on the thumb the thumb and
The finger are beaten together with
These two little metal things to
Make it go ding, ding, ding george Duke is
Now applying an ingenious technique, to the
