[Frank Zappa - Jazz Buffs and Buff-etts lyrics]
You know it's time
For a song called "The Purple Lagoon" This
Is for all the jazz
Buffs and jazz buff-etts in the
Audience you'll note that in
The middle of this there's going to be some
Uh, jazz-type solos played by various
Wonderful members of our
New York finest horn section
Ladies and gentlemen and
As if that weren't enough
There'll be a luxuriant
Punk-rock-type avant-garde bass solo by
Patrick O'Hearn but
The crowning moment of the song will be
When Ruth Underwood has the audacity to
Play the melody from the "Be-Bop Tango"
On top of the vamp I
Knew we had "Be-Bop Tango" fans
In New York! alright!
I always knew I could write an unforgettable
Melody, that's one of them
I'm sure anybody who
Anybody can hum along with the "Be-Bop Tango
" just go and get yourself hospitalized right
After the show and she's not only
Gonna play the melody to the "Be-Bop Tango
" but she's gonna do
It against the vamp from the
From "Pound For A Brown, "
Which we're going to insert in the
Middle of this sort of a
Musical uh, musical chairs-type melody, you
Know what I mean? Okay, here we go
