Joe's Garage (乔的车库) - Frank Zappa (弗兰克·扎帕)[00:00:00]
We take you now to a garage in Canoga Park [00:00:03]
(It makes it's own sauce )[00:00:08]
It wasn't very large[00:00:12]
There was just enough room to cram the drums[00:00:14]
In the corner over by the Dodge[00:00:16]
It was a fifty-four[00:00:19]
With a mashed up door[00:00:20]
And a cheesy little amp[00:00:22]
With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ"[00:00:24]
And a second hand guitar[00:00:27]
It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar[00:00:30]
We could jam in Joe's Garage[00:00:37]
His mama was screamin'[00:00:41]
His dad was mad[00:00:42]
We was playin' the same old song[00:00:44]
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would[00:00:46]
Play it all night long[00:00:49]
It was all we knew 'n' easy too[00:00:51]
So we wouldn't get it wrong[00:00:54]
All we did was bend the string like [00:00:57]
Hey [00:01:05]
Down in Joe's Garage[00:01:05]
We didn't have no d**e or LSD[00:01:08]
But a coupla quartsa beer[00:01:10]
Would fix it so the intonation[00:01:13]
Would not offend yer ear[00:01:16]
And the same old chords goin' over 'n' over[00:01:18]
Became a symphony[00:01:21]
We would play it again 'n' again 'n' again[00:01:24]
'Cause it sounded good to me[00:01:27]
ONE MORE TIME [00:01:29]
We could jam in Joe's Garage[00:01:38]
His mama was screamin' [00:01:40]
"TURN IT DOWN "[00:01:42]
We was playing' the same old song[00:01:43]
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would[00:01:46]
Play it all night long[00:01:49]
It was all we knew and easy too[00:01:51]
So we wouldn't get it wrong[00:01:54]
Even if you played it on a saxophone[00:01:57]
We thought we was pretty good[00:02:10]
We talked about keepin' the band together[00:02:13]
'N' we figured that we should[00:02:16]
'Cause about this time we was gettin' the eye[00:02:18]
From the girls in the neighborhood[00:02:21]
They'd all come over 'n' dance around[00:02:24]
Like [00:02:26]
So we picked out a stupid name[00:02:32]
Had some cards printed up for a coupla bucks[00:02:34]
'N' we was on our way to fame[00:02:37]
Got matching suits 'N' Beatle Boots[00:02:40]
'N' a sign on the back of the car[00:02:43]
'N' we was ready to work in a GO-GO Bar[00:02:45]
ONE TWO THREE FOUR[00:02:48]
LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT SOME MORE [00:02:51]
People seemed to like our song[00:02:59]
They got up 'n' danced 'n' made a lotta noise[00:03:02]
An' it wasn't 'fore very long[00:03:04]
A guy from a company we can't name[00:03:07]
Said we oughta take his pen[00:03:10]
'N' sign on the line for a real good time[00:03:13]
But he didn't tell us when[00:03:15]
These "good times" would be somethin'[00:03:18]
That was really happenin'[00:03:20]
So the band broke up[00:03:23]
An' it looks like[00:03:26]
We will never play again [00:03:29]
Guess you only get one chance in life[00:03:32]
To play a song that goes like [00:03:35]
Turn it down [00:03:42]
Turn it DOWN [00:03:47]
I have children sleeping here [00:03:51]
Don't you boys know any nice songs [00:03:55]
Well the years was rollin' by yeah[00:03:59]
Heavy Metal 'n' Glitter Rock[00:04:02]
Had caught the public eye yeah[00:04:04]
Snotty boys with lipstick on[00:04:07]
Was really flyin' high yeah[00:04:09]
'N' then they got that Disco thing[00:04:13]
'N' New Wave came along[00:04:15]
'N' all of a sudden I thought the time[00:04:18]
Had come for that old song[00:04:20]
We used to play in "Joe's Garage"[00:04:23]
And if I am not wrong[00:04:26]
You will soon be dancin' to [00:04:28]
The WHITE ZONE is[00:04:31]

Unloading only If you[00:04:35]
Gotta load or unload [00:04:38]

(SWAT Team 4 move in )[00:05:35]
He used cut my grass [00:05:38]
He was very nice boy [00:05:39]
That's DISGUSTING [00:05:41]
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER [00:05:43]
That was Joe's first confrontation with The Law [00:05:45]
Naturally we were easy on him [00:05:50]
One of our friendly counselors gave him[00:05:54]
A do-nut and told him to[00:05:59]
Stick closer to church-oriented social activities[00:06:02]
