Holding The Group Back - Frank Zappa, The Mothers Of Invention

Roy: Domino, Domino, Domino Biz-bo-OH

Domino Biz-bo-OH, Amen, Domino Biz-bo, Hallelujah, eh…

Ian: Et cum spiritu tuo…

Roy: Ian, I don’t think I qualify for the Mothers

FZ: They’re making up their lines as they go along, isn’t it thrilling?

Ian: Why, Roy?

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

Ian: I don’t care how you can play bass but we have NO MEXICANS in this group

Roy: And I wanna join your group

Ian: No Mexicans!

Roy: I can sing opera, I have already quit, I cut my hair, I got all my shit

together here.

I can do it

Ian: I don’t care how you look, you gotta be able to cut the part

Roy: I can sing.

Please.

Please, Ian, give me a CHANCE

Ian: I don’t believe you can sing

Roy: 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!

BWAH-AH-AH-AH!

Ian: Okay Mexican…

Roy: Please?

Ian: Okay Mexican…

Roy: Okay
