Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage (single version) lyrics

It wasn't very large There was just enough to cram the drums In the corner over by the Dodge (It was a '54 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 We could jam at Joe's garage His Momma was screamin', "turn it down!" We was playing the same old song In the afternoon, and sometimes we would Play it all night long It was all we knew, and easy too So we wouldn't get it wrong Even if you played it on the saxophone! (sax solo) We thought we was pretty good We talked about keeping the band together And we figured that we should Cuz about this time we was getting the eye From the girls in the neighborhood They'd all come over and dance around, like So we picked out a stupid name Had some cards printed up for a couple o' bucks And we was on our way to fame Had matching suits, and beevil boots And a sign on the back of the car And we was ready to work in a Go-Go bar ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Let's see if you've got some more! The people seemed to like our song They got up and danced, and made a lot of noise And it wasn't 'fore very long A guy from a company we can't name Said we oughta take his pen And sign on the line for a real good time But he didn't tell us then: These good time would be something that was really happening So the band broke up And it looks like (ooh-ooh) We will never play again (wee-ooh) Guess you only get one chance in life to play a song that goes like: "Turn it down! Turn it down! I have...children SLEEPING here! Don't you boys know any nice songs?" Well the years is rolling by Heavy metal and Glitter Rock Had caught the public eye Snotty boys with lipstick on Was really flyin' high And then they got that disco thing And New Wave we came along And all of a sudden I thought the time Had come for that old song We used to play in Joe's garage And if I am not wrong You will soon be dancing to the The White Zone is for loading and unloading only If you gotta load, or unload, go to the White Zone You'll love it.... They years is rolling by, yeah....
