Frank Zappa — Holding The Group Back lyrics

Lyrics

Domino, Domino, Domino Biz-bo-OH,
Domino Biz-bo-OH, Amen, Domino Biz-bo, Hallelujah, eh. ..
Et cum spiritu tuo. ..
Ian, I don’t think I qualify for the Mothers
(They’re making up their lines as they go along, isn’t it thrilling?)
Why, Roy?
Because I don’t think I’m qualified. I think, I think I’m holding the group
back because I’m a MEXICAN. And also because I don’t play bass good.
I don’t care how you can play bass but we have NO MEXICANS in this group.
And I wanna join your group.
No Mexicans!
I can sing opera, I have already quit, I cut my hair, I got all my shit
together here. I can do it.
I don’t care how you look you gotta be able to cut the part.
I can sing. Please. Please, Ian, give me a CHANCE.
I don’t believe you can sing.
Ah, PLEASE! Ah, Ian, please, hear my PLEA! PLEASE, IAN! PLE-E-E-EASE!
I can do it, give me a CHANCE! PLEASE! Please, IAN!
(Try me!)
BWAH-AH-AH-AH! Please!
Okay Mexican
Please?
Okay Mexican
Okay.
Sing this note:
You think everything gonna be alright.
Okay. You passed the first part of your audition. Now you gotta sing. ..
Mi, mi, mi, mi. ..
