Packard Goose

Frank Zappa

Joe:

Maybe you thought I was the Packard Goose

Or the Ronald MacDonald of the nouveau-abstruse

Well fuck all them people, I don't need no excuse

For being what I am

Do you hear me, then?



All them rock 'n roll writers is the worst kind of sleaze

Selling punk like some new kind of English disease

(Yourself it's yum)

And suck it 'till you're numb

The last tour?

Music is THE BEST . . .

Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct)

Beauty is a French phonetic corruption

Of a short cloth neck ornament

Currently in resurgence . . .



Joe:

If you're in the audience and like what we do

Well, we want you to know that we like you all too

But as for the sucker who will write the review
