《Joe’s Garage》歌词

[00:00:00] Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa

[00:00:03] We take you now, to a garage, in Canoga Park.

[00:00:08] (It makes it's own sauce...)

[00:00:12] It wasn't very large

[00:00:14] There was just enough room to cram the drums

[00:00:16] In the corner over by the Dodge

[00:00:19] It was a fifty-four

[00:00:20] With a mashed up door

[00:00:22] And a cheesy little amp

[00:00:24] With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ"

[00:00:27] And a second hand guitar

[00:00:30] It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar

[00:00:37] We could jam in Joe's Garage

[00:00:41] His mama was screamin'

[00:00:42] His dad was mad

[00:00:44] We was playin' the same old song

[00:00:46] In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would

[00:00:49] Play it all night long

[00:00:51] It was all we knew, 'n' easy too

[00:00:54] So we wouldn't get it wrong

[00:00:57] All we did was bend the string like...

[00:01:05] Hey!

[00:01:05] Down in Joe's Garage

[00:01:08] We didn't have no dope or LSD

[00:01:10] But a coupla quartsa beer

[00:01:13] Would fix it so the intonation

[00:01:16] Would not offend yer ear

[00:01:18] And the same old chords goin' over 'n' over

[00:01:21] Became a symphony

[00:01:24] We would play it again 'n' again 'n' again

[00:01:27] 'Cause it sounded good to me

[00:01:29] ONE MORE TIME!

[00:01:38] We could jam in Joe's Garage

[00:01:40] His mama was screamin',

[00:01:42] "TURN IT DOWN!"

[00:01:43] We was playing' the same old song

[00:01:46] In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would

[00:01:49] Play it all night long

[00:01:51] It was all we knew, and easy too

[00:01:54] So we wouldn't get it wrong

[00:01:57] Even if you played it on a saxophone

[00:02:10] We thought we was pretty good

[00:02:13] We talked about keepin' the band together

[00:02:16] 'N' we figured that we should

[00:02:18] 'Cause about this time we was gettin' the eye

[00:02:21] From the girls in the neighborhood

[00:02:24] They'd all come over 'n' dance around

[00:02:26] Like...

[00:02:32] So we picked out a stupid name

[00:02:34] Had some cards printed up for a coupla bucks

[00:02:37] 'N' we was on our way to fame

[00:02:40] Got matching suits 'N' Beatle Boots

[00:02:43] 'N' a sign on the back of the car

[00:02:45] 'N' we was ready to work in a GO-GO Bar

[00:02:48] ONE TWO THREE FOUR

[00:02:51] LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT SOME MORE!

[00:02:59] People seemed to like our song

[00:03:02] They got up 'n' danced 'n' made a lotta noise

[00:03:04] An' it wasn't 'fore very long

[00:03:07] A guy from a company we can't name

[00:03:10] Said we oughta take his pen

[00:03:13] 'N' sign on the line for a real good time

[00:03:15] But he didn't tell us when

[00:03:18] These "good times" would be somethin'

[00:03:20] That was really happenin'

[00:03:23] So the band broke up

[00:03:26] An' it looks like

[00:03:29] We will never play again...

[00:03:32] Guess you only get one chance in life

[00:03:35] To play a song that goes like...

[00:03:42] Turn it down!

[00:03:47] Turn it DOWN!

[00:03:51] I have children sleeping here...

[00:03:55] Don't you boys know any nice songs?

[00:03:59] Well the years was rollin' by, yeah

[00:04:02] Heavy Metal 'n' Glitter Rock

[00:04:04] Had caught the public eye, yeah

[00:04:07] Snotty boys with lipstick on

[00:04:09] Was really flyin' high, yeah

[00:04:13] 'N' then they got that Disco thing

[00:04:15] 'N' New Wave came along

[00:04:18] 'N' all of a sudden I thought the time

[00:04:20] Had come for that old song

[00:04:23] We used to play in "Joe's Garage"

[00:04:26] And if I am not wrong

[00:04:28] You will soon be dancin' to...

[00:04:31] The WHITE ZONE is

[00:04:33] For loading and

[00:04:35] Unloading only. If you

[00:04:38] Gotta load or unload,

[00:04:41] Go to the WHITE

[00:04:48] I'm calling THE POLICE!

[00:04:58] I did it! They'll be here...shortly!

[00:05:05] I'm not joking around anymore

[00:05:07] We have the garage surrounded

[00:05:10] If you give yourself up

[00:05:12] We will not harm you

[00:05:14] Or hurt you neither

[00:05:16] You'll see them

[00:05:17] This is the Police

[00:05:19] There they are, they're coming!

[00:05:22] Give yourself up

[00:05:23] We will not harm you

[00:05:24] Listen to that mess, would you?

[00:05:26] This is the Police

[00:05:28] Give yourself up

[00:05:30] We have the garage surrounded

[00:05:31] Everday this goes on around here!

[00:05:33] We will not harm you, or maim you

[00:05:35] (SWAT Team 4, move in!)

[00:05:38] He used cut my grass...

[00:05:39] He was very nice boy...

[00:05:41] That's DISGUSTING!!

[00:05:43] This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...

[00:05:45] That was Joe's first confrontation with The Law.

[00:05:50] Naturally, we were easy on him.

[00:05:54] One of our friendly counselors gave him

[00:05:59] A do-nut...and told him to

[00:06:02] Stick closer to church-oriented social activities.
