  JOE'S GARAGE

  FRANK ZAPPA

  

  

  [THE WHOLE SONG CONSIST OF YOUR BASIC 1-4-5

  CHORD PATTERN IN THE KEY OF E.

  EX:  EAB ETC.]

  

  

  

  IT WASN'T VERY LARGE

  THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM TO CRAM THE

  DRUMS

  IN THE CORNER OVER BY THE DODGE

  IT WAS A FIFTY-FOUR

  WITH A MASHED UP DOOR

  AND A CHEESY LITTLE AMP

  WITH A SIGH ON THE FRONT SAID "GENDER CHAMP"

  AND A SECOND HAND GUITAR

  IT WAS A STRATOCASTER WITH A WHAMMY BAR

  

  WE COULD JAM IN JOE'S GARAGE

  HIS MAMA WAS SCREAMING,  HIS DAD WAS MAD

  WE WAS PLAYING THE SAME OLD SONG

  IN THE AFTERNOON AND SOMETIMES WE WOULD 

  PLAY IT ALL NIGHT LONG

   IT WAS ALL WE KNOW AND EASY TOO

  SO WE WOULDN'T GET IT WRONG

  ALL WE DID WAS BEND THE STRING LIKE... HEY!

  

  DOWN IN JOES GARAGE

  WE DIDN'T HAVE NO DOPE OR LSD

  BUT A COUPLA QUARTSA BEER

  WOULD FIX IT SO THE INTONATION WOULD 

  NOT OFFEND YER EAR

  AND THE SAME OLD CHORDS GOING OVER AND OVER

  BECAME A SYMPHONY

  WE WOULD PLAY IT AGAIN N AGAIN AND AGAIN

  CAUSE IT SOUNDED GOOD TO ME

  ONE MORE TIME

  

  WE COULD JAM IN JOE'S GARAGE

  HIS MAMA WAS SCREAMING "TURN IT DOWN"

  WE WAS PLAYING THE SAME OLD SONG

  IN THE AFTERNOON AND SOMETIMES WE WOULD 

  PLAY IT ALL NIGHT LONG

  IT WAS ALL WE KNOW AND EASY TOO

  SO WE WOULDN'T GET IT WRONG

  EVEN IF YOU PLAYED IT ON THE SAXOPHONE

  

  WE THOUGHT WE WAS PRETTY GOOD

  WE TALKED ABOUT KEEPING THE BAND TOGETHER

  AND WE FIGURED THAT WE SHOULD

   CAUSE ABOUT THIS TIME WE WAS GETTING THE EYE

   FROM THE GIRLS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

  THEY'D ALL COME OVER AND DANCE AROUND LIKE...

  

  SO WE PICKED OUT A STUPID NAME

  HAD SOME CARDS PRINTED UP FOR A COUPLA BUCKS

  AND WE WAS ON OUR WAY TO FAME

  GOT MATCHING SUITS AND BEATLES BOOTS

  AND A SIGH ON THE BACK OF THE CAR

  AND WE WAS READY TO WORK IN A GO-GO BAR

  "ONE TWO THREE FOUR, LETS SEE IF YOU GOT SOME

  MORE

  

  PEOPLE SEEMED TO LIKE OUR SONG

  THEY GOT UP AND DANCED AND MAKE A LOT A

  NOISE

  AND IT WASN'T 'FORE VERY LONG

  A GUY FROM A COMPANY WE CAN'T NAME

  SAID WE OUGHT TO TAKE HIS PEN

  AND SIGN ON THE LINE FOR A REAL GOOD TIME

  BUT HE DIDN'T TELL US WHEN

  THESE "GOOD TIMES" WOULD BE SOMETHING'

  THAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING

  SO THE BAND BROKE UP , AND IT LOOKS LIKE

  WE WILL NEVER PLAY AGAIN

  

  GUESS YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE IN LIFE 

  TO PLAY A SONG THAT GOES LIKE . . .

  

  "TURN IT DOWN

  I HAVE CHILDREN SLEEPING HERE"

  

  WELL THE YEARS WAS ROLLING BY

  HEAVY METAL AND GLITTER ROCK

  HAD CAUGHT  THE PUBLIC EYE

  SNOTTY BOY WITH LIPSTICK ON

  WAS REALLY FLYING HIGH

  AND THEN THEY GOT THAT DISCO THING

  AND NEW WAVE CAME ALONG

  AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I THOUGHT THE TIME

  HAD COME FOR THAT OLD SONG

  WE USED TO PLAY IN JOE'S GARAGE

  AND IF I AM NOT WRONG

  YOU WILL SOON BE DANCING TO . . .

  

  WELL THE YEARS WAS ROLLING  BY . . .
