It’s A Good Thing We Get Paid To Do This - Frank Zappa

It's a good thing we get paid to do this
I could be in L A getting reamed
Listening to an Elton John album
Don't even talk about getting reamed
Listen I've been without female companionship for so long
A career as a Jesuit monk was inviting
Ian is starting to look good to me
Must be his green velour socks
Just calm down there Duke
Ever since you left the jazz world to seek fame and fortune in the rock'n'roll industry
What do you mean rock'n'roll
This f**king band doesn't even play rock'n'roll it's all that comedy crap
If we play any rock'n'roll we might make some money
I wouldn't mind playing some rock'n'roll
Uh I like classical music too
But that doesn't mean I wouln't enjoy playing rock'n'roll
I mean it's not very challenging intelectually
But I wouldn't mind if we did some rock'n'roll We could vote on it
Vote on it for what
To tell Zappa we wanna play some good music instead of this comedy sh*t
Aynsley: I wouldn't mind playing some more rock'n'roll
It'd be more commercial sort of heavy
Four parts harmony group vocals and a very heavy beat
That the kids could enjoy it I think we'd definitely make more money that way
Maybe after we finish the movie we could play more rock'n'roll
Yeah We all quit and form other groups and play more rock'n'roll
And more blues extended blues
Blues that's still down and funky
Even though you extended it
George knows what I'm talking about don't you George
Leave me out of it I come from the jazz world
I know all about these groups that get formed and disappear
With their extensions waving in the moonlight
You just calm down there Duke
Maybe we could all form a group
We can elect a leader Howard we can call it Howard Kaylan World
We wouldn't have to have any leader
We could just jam a lot
There was have to have a really heavy beat and be really commercial so the kids could enjoy it
I want to get laid I'm so horny I can't stand it
Listen if you think for a minute that anybody likes this comedy music we've been playing you're crazy That's why you don't get laid
Who wants to f**k a comedian
None of these girls can take you seriously
Hey man you should be careful talking about that kind of stuff
Why does he listen
Ian: He always listens
He's always watching and listening to all the guys in the band
I've been in the band for years and I know
He always listens believe me
That's how he gets his material He listens to us being natural
Friendly humorous and good-natured
Then he rips us off
Sneaks off in the secret room someplace and boils it in ammonia
And gets it perverted Then he brings it back to us in rehearsal and makes us play it
I've been in the group for years and let me tell you that is exactly
That is precisely what he does: He steals all his material
And the stuff he doesn't steal
Murray Roman writes for him Listen
