Status Back, Baby

Frank Zappa & the Mothers

FZ: Of course we'll send the penguin through the flaming hoop tonight!

Guy In The Audience: "Concentration Moon"!

FZ: Of course we'll play "Concentration Moon" for you! One, two, three, four . . .



Ooo-Ooo-Ooo etc., etc.,

AH-AH WA WA WA WA WA WA WAH!



I'm losin' status at the high school

I used to think that it was my school . . .

WOW WOW WOW!

I was the king of every school activity

But that's no more . . . oh mama!

What will come of me?



The other night we painted posters

We played some records by the Coasters

WOW WOW WOW!

A bunch of pom-pom girls looked down their nose at me.

They had painted tons of posters; I had painted three.

I hear the secret whispers everywhere I go

My school spirit is at an all-time low . . . OH NO!



FZ: Of course we'll play "Petrushka"!



I'm losing status at the high school

I used to think that it was my school . . .

WOW WOW WOW!

Everyone in town knows I'm a hand-some football star

I sing & dance & spray my hair & drive a shiny car

I'm friendly & I'm charming . . . I belong to De Molay

I'm gonna try like mad to get my status back today!
