Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa
We take you now, to a garage, in Canoga Park.

(It makes it's own sauce...)

It wasn't very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums
In the corner over by the Dodge
It was a fifty-four
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 in Joe's Garage
His mama was screamin'
His dad was mad
We was playin' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long

It was all we knew, 'n' easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong

All we did was bend the string like...

Hey!
Down in Joe's Garage
We didn't have no dope or LSD
But a coupla quartsa beer

Would fix it so the intonation
Would not offend yer ear

And the same old chords goin' over 'n' over
Became a symphony

We would play it again 'n' again 'n' again
'Cause it sounded good to me

ONE MORE TIME!

We could jam in Joe's Garage
His mama was screamin',
"TURN IT DOWN!"
We was playing' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' 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 a saxophone

We thought we was pretty good

We talked about keepin' the band together
'N' we figured that we should

'Cause about this time we was gettin' the eye
From the girls in the neighborhood

They'd all come over 'n' dance around
like...

So we picked out a stupid name
Had some cards printed up for a coupla bucks
'N' we was on our way to fame
Got matching suits 'N' Beatle Boots
'N' a sign on the back of the car
'N' we was ready to work in a GO-GO Bar
ONE TWO THREE FOUR
LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT SOME MORE!

People seemed to like our song

They got up 'n' danced 'n' made a lotta noise
An' it wasn't 'fore very long

A guy from a company we can't name
Said we oughta take his pen
'N' sign on the line for a real good time
But he didn't tell us when

These "good times" would be somethin'
That was really happenin'

So the band broke up

An' it looks like

We will never play again...

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 was rollin' by, yeah
Heavy Metal 'n' Glitter Rock
Had caught the public eye, yeah
Snotty boys with lipstick on
Was really flyin' high, yeah
'N' then they got that Disco thing
'N' New Wave came along

'N' 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 dancin' to...
The WHITE ZONE is
for loading and
unloading only. If you
gotta load or unload,

go to the WHITE

I'm calling THE POLICE!

I did it! They'll be here...shortly!

I'm not joking around anymore

We have the garage surrounded

If you give yourself up
We will not harm you
Or hurt you neither
You'll see them
This is the Police
There they are, they're coming!

Give yourself up
We will not harm you
Listen to that mess, would you?
This is the Police
Give yourself up
We have the garage surrounded
Everday this goes on around here!
We will not harm you, or maim you
(SWAT Team 4, move in!)
He used cut my grass...
He was very nice boy...
That's DISGUSTING!!
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...
That was Joe's first confrontation with The Law.
Naturally, we were easy on him.
One of our friendly counselors gave him
A do-nut...and told him to
Stick closer to church-oriented social activities.
