FZ: Hello! Boy, got y'all JAMMED in here, don't dey? What's that say? "Thanks for coming, what's the secret word for tonight? Your buddies Dirk, Tom and Tommy." Okay . . . Alright, guys, you're looking for another secret word? The secret word for tonight is RING OF FIRE! Let me try 'n explain this to you, folks: This afternoon at the hotel I was introduced for the first time to Johnny Cash, and Johnny was going to come to the concert tonight, and he was going to sing with us. Unfortunately his wife got sick so he can't come tonight, BUT . . . this afternoon we actually learned how to play a reggae version of "Ring Of Fire," and we've been trying to decide whether or not we oughta play it even if Johnny's not gonna sing it. Now, maybe you can help us decide. How many people would like to hear "Ring Of Fire" if Johnny is not going to sing it? How many people DON'T want to hear "Ring Of Fire"? I think most people want to hear "Ring Of Fire." Okay, here it comes, folks . . .
Love is a burning thing
(That's right)
And it leaves a firey fiery ring
(There's That's a firey ring)
I was captured by pure desire
(That's right)
I fell into a ring of fire
(Ow! Ow! Ow!)
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I fell down down down
And the those the flames [...] higher lit the pyre licked up higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
("It's hot")
Love
("It's hot")
Is a burning thing
(That's right, that's it's the same verse again)
And it leaves makes a firey fiery ring
(It's one way of learning English)
(Senator Hawkins: Pyromania)
I was captured by pure desire
(Pure desire)
I fell into that burning ring of fire
(Ow! Ow! Ow!)
I fell into that burning ring of fire
(Johnny'll never know what he missed)
I fell down down down
And the those flames [...] higher lit the pyre licked up higher And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site!"
He said, for a nominal service charge,
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris, anyhow?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Hi-Yo, Silver
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said:
"You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma that RING OF FIRE for you too!"
An' I said, hey!
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' cram it up yer snout
"BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOLRING OF FIRE!," he said
An', an' held it on up to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
("It's hot")
An' I showed him how to do then told him how'll how 'da wipe it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
I told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' his pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around,
I said
"The price of meat has have just gone up
An' yeryo' ol' lady RING OF FIRE have just gone down . . . "
Look here brotherJohnny,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now exactly what kind of a RING OF FIRE are we talking about here tonight?)
Don't you know,
You could make more money as a butcherget better results with Anusol,
So don't you waste your time on me
(Don't Sri Chin, don't Sri Chinmoy on me . . . )

Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy till you finally unwind her
Find her blinder, see who designed her
Act like a dummy till you finally grind her
If you should see a girl on the street
Now maybe you might think she is sweet
But if you wanna tickle her treatwant a piece of the meat
Now really, what should you do?
(Rat-tat-tat-tat ta-da!)
Don't never let her know you are smart
The universe is no place nowhere to start
You gotta play it straight from the heart
She gwine renunciate Or she'll go doody on you
(That's why you gotta . . . )
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy Mud Shark till you finally unwind her
Find her blinder, see who designed her
Act like a dummy till you finally grind her
Now maybe you might think I am rude
And maybe you might think this that Mud Shark is crude
And maybe this approach I have spewed
Is not the one for you
(Rat-tat-tat-tat ta-da!)
But believe me later on you'll gonna find
As you impress her with your mind
That you would just be left behind
For a wiser fool
(So you might as well)
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy till you finally unwind her
Find her blinder, see who designed her
Act like a dummy till you finally grind her
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy till you finally unwind her
Find her blinder, see who designed her
Act like a dummy till you finally grind her

Happy Saint Patrick, Dano! Pattie's day, now! Ha ha ha . . .
Yeah, then we gotta know[...], now
Thank you very much, Mr. Zappa.
Ah, I'm very pleased to be here on behalf of the Administration—the most powerful government in the world. And, uh, Mr. Fitzwater invited me to come here tonight to create some balance, because there has been some things done by Mr. Zappa that I think are unfair to our country.
I think, from the beginning, to say that this is going to be balanced, when he has this lingerie up here, and makin' fun of children's toys, as a beginning, if this is what he has in mind, I think he's wrong.
It's people like Mr. Frank Zappa that kept the Senate from being able to send ARMS to the DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS IN NICARAGUA! And I, for one, am headin' down there myself, as soon as I finish up here tonight.
And I want the elected official, Mr. Charlie Sanders, the Democrat, to remember that "Democrat" begins with a "D," just like DEMON! And we'll remember you, friend, when it comes votin' time. And Margaret Boyd and Carmen BelacordBellacord, despite his former habitforeign name, did some help to back some things up.
Friends, these forms cost money. And this money could be going towards a more powerful military; this money could be going towards driving out the illegal aliens. And instead, Mr. Zappa wants to have a bunch of young, uninformed 18 to 21-year-olds votin' here, and spendin' your money.
And I just want you to know that tonight, I love him anyway. Because I've got love in my heart, and I'm not afraid of the fact that he he's turned this into some kind of zoo up here.
Sunday— That's not fair, Mr. Zappa.
Sunday night used to be a night in which Americans would get together. They'd go to their place of worship, and they would share. And I don't know why, on this night which is supposed to be Valentine's night, there aren't more people that have a heart that have a love affair with America. But instead, they're here on Sunday night, worshipping this man who's demon-possessed!
I ask you, Mr. Frank Zappa, what kind of man can name a child Moon Unit? What kind of man can name a child Weasel? What kind of man can name a child OhmanOmen? To me, it defies the logic.
And I'm comin' here tonight because I want to share with him, just the same way we're going to give spirit power to the democratic freedom fighters down there, our brothers that wanna have the freedom to be able to have a man like Pat Robertson, to have a man like Mr. Dole, restore America!
And I'm gonna ask the power and the joy and of the power of the living king of kings. And a lot of you here, you smut-minded, musical people say, "King of kings, that must be Elvis."
NoNow, I'm gonna ask for the power,
and I'm gonna ask for the glory.
I'm gonna now, I'm gonna tell you a story.
I'm gonna drive out the demons, friends.
I'm gonna ask you to help this badness end.
Come on Frank, let's have a story.
Come on now there 'n share the glory.
Do you feel the power? Come on, put out the negativity . . .

Lord, you must be havin' her jumpin' through a hoopa real fire
With some Kleenex wrapped around a coat-hang wire
(Fire!)
Little Penguin
A dirty little bird
(What?)
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh . . .
Rennenhenninnahenninneninahenn
Howlin' over to some
Antarcticulated moon
In the frostbite nite
With her flaps gone white
Shriekin' as she spot the hoop across the room
(There it goes again . . . it's that hoop)
You know it must be a Penguin bound down
When you hear that terrible weepin' and there ain't no other
Evangelist around
(Jim!)
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh . . .
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh . . .
Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim
Aw, you must be careful
Not to leave her those straps
TOO LOOSE
'Cause she just might turn you in
'Cause she just might turn you in
(Yessir!)
An' leave you sort of a dried-up, wastin' wizened little ministry . . .
BOW WOW
RAW!
"It's hot"
"It's"
"It's"
"I mean that"
"I . . . I . . . I . . . "
"I . . . "
"I . . . I . . . "
"It's hot"
"It's . . . It's"
"It's hot"
"It's"
"It's"
"I mean that"
"I . . . I . . . I me . . . "
"I mean that"
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooo-oooh
And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have
Two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven misleading
Oooh makes me wonder
Oh-ooooh makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
And oooh makes me wonder
And oh-ooooh makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Yes it makes me wonder
And owowowow, no
It If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May-queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
On and on
Said ooooh makes me wonder
And oh-oh-oh-ooooh makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
Say!
Say!
Mother, Mary & Yozuf!
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to know
How everything turns still still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The moose news will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven
