Paroles
Central scrutinizer:
We take you now, to a garage, in canoga park.
Frank zappa:
(it makes it's own sauce…)
Joe:
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 sign on the front said fender champ
And a second hand guitar
It was a stratocaster with a whammy bar
At this point, larry (a guy who will eventually give up music and earn a respectable living as a roadie for a group called toad-o) joins in the song…
Larry:
We could jam in joe's garage
His mama was screamin'
His dad was mad
We was playin' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long
It was all we knew, 'n' easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong
All we did was bend the string like…
Hey!
Down in joe's 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 goin' over 'n' over
Became a symphony
We would play it again 'n' again 'n' again
'cause it sounded good to me One more time!
We could jam in joe's garage
His mama was screamin',
Turn it down!
We was playing' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long
It was all we knew, and easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong
Even if you played it on a saxophone
We thought we was pretty good
We talked about keepin' the band together
'n' we figured that we should
'cause about this time we was gettin' the eye
From the girls in the neighborhood
They'd all come over 'n' dance around
Like…
Twenty teen-age girls dash
In and go stomp-clap,
Stomp-clap-clap…
So we picked out a stupid name
Had some cards printed up for a coupla bucks
'n' we was on our way to fame
Got matching suits 'n' beatle boots
'n' a sign on the back of the car
'n' we was ready to work in a go-go bar
One two three four
Let's see if you got some more!
People seemed to like our song
They got up 'n' danced 'n' made a lotta noise
An' it wasn't 'fore very long
A guy from a company we can't name
Said we oughta take his pen
'n' sign on the line for a real good time
But he didn't tell us when
These good times would be somethin'
That was really happenin'
So the band broke up An' it looks like
We will never play again…
Joe:
Guess you only get one chance in life
To play a song that goes like…
(and, as the band plays their little song,
Mrs. borg (who keeps her son sy,
In the closet with the vacuum cleaner)
Screams out the window…
Mrs. borg:
Turn it down!
Turn it down!
I have children sleeping here…
Don't you boys know any nice songs?
Joe:
(speculating on the future)
Well the years was rollin' by, yeah
Heavy metal 'n' glitter rock
Had caught the public eye, yeah
Snotty boys with lipstick on Was really flyin' high, yeah
'n' then they got that disco thing
'n' new wave came along
'n' 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 dancin' to…
Central scrutinizer:
The white zone is For loading and
Unloading only. if you
Gotta load or unload,

Zone. you'll love it…
Joe:
Well the years was rollin' by (etc.)…
Mrs. borg:
I'm calling the police!
I did it! they'll be here… shortly!
Officer butzis:
This is the police…
Mrs. borg:
I'm not joking around anymore
Officer butzis:
We have the garage surrounded
If you give yourself up We will not harm you
Or hurt you neither
Mrs. borg:
You'll see them
Officer butzis:
This is the police
Mrs. borg:
There they are, they're coming!
Officer butzis:
Give yourself up We will not harm you
Mrs. borg:
Listen to that mess, would you?
Officer butzis:
This is the police
Give yourself up We have the garage surrounded
Mrs. borg:
Everday this goes on around here!
Officer butzis:
We will not harm you, or maim you
(swat team 4, move in!)
Mrs. borg:
He used cut my grass…
He was very nice boy…
That's disgusting!
Central scrutinizer:
This is the central scrutinizer…
That was joe's first confrontation with the law.
Naturally, we were easy on him.
One of our friendly counselors gave him
A do-nut…and told him to Stick closer to church-oriented social activities.
Traduction des paroles
Central scrutinizer:
Nous vous emmenons maintenant, dans un garage, dans le parc canoga.
Frank zappa:
(il fait sa propre sauce…)
Joe:
Il n'était pas très grand
Il y avait juste assez de place pour entasser les tambours
Dans le coin près de l'esquive
C'était un de cinquante-quatre
Avec une porte en purée
Et un petit ampli ringard
Avec un signe sur le devant dit Fender champ
Et une deuxième guitare à la main
C'était une stratocaster avec une barre whammy
À ce stade, larry (un gars qui finira par abandonner la musique et gagner une vie respectable en tant que roadie pour un groupe appelé toad-o) se joint à la chanson…
Larry:
On pourrait faire de la confiture dans le garage de joe
Sa maman était screamin'
Son père était fou
Nous avons été playin' de la même vieille chanson
Dans l'après-midi 'n' parfois, nous
Il joue tout au long de la nuit
C'était tout ce que nous savions, 'n' trop facile
Pour ne pas nous tromper
Tout ce qu'on a fait c'est plier la ficelle comme…
Hey!
Dans le garage de joe
On n'avait ni dope ni lsd
Mais une bière coupla quartsa
Fixerait donc l'intonation
Sans offenser ton oreille
Et les mêmes vieux accords goin 'over' N ' over
Est devenu une symphonie
Nous la jouer à nouveau, 'n' encore 'n' de nouveau
parce que ça me semblait bien une fois de plus!
On pourrait faire de la confiture dans le garage de joe
Sa maman était screamin',
Baissez le son!
On jouait la même vieille chanson
Dans l'après-midi 'n' parfois, nous
Il joue tout au long de la nuit
C'était tout ce que nous savions, et facile aussi
Pour ne pas nous tromper
Même si vous l'avez joué sur un saxophone
Nous pensions que nous étions plutôt bons
On a parlé de garder le groupe ensemble
'n', nous avons pensé que nous devrions
'cause cette fois, nous avons été gettin' l'oeil
De la part des filles dans le quartier
Ils avaient tous viennent " n " danse autour de la
Comme…
Vingt filles de l'âge de l'adolescence dash
Entrez et allez stomp-clap,
Stomp, clap-clap…
Donc nous avons choisi un nom stupide
Des cartes ont été imprimées pour un couple
'n' Nous étions sur le chemin de la gloire
Vous avez des costumes assortis ' n ' bottes beatle
'n' un signe à l'arrière de la voiture
'n' Nous étions prêts à travailler dans un bar go-go
Un deux trois quatre
Nous ne vous ferons pas de mal, ou vous mutiler
(swat team 4, avancez!)
Mme borg:
Il a utilisé couper mon herbe…
Il était très gentil garçon…
C'est dégoûtant!
Central scrutinizer:
C'est le scrutateur central…
C'était la première confrontation de joe avec la loi.
Naturellement, nous avons été faciles avec lui.
Un de nos conseillers Amicaux lui a donné
Un cinglé ... et lui a dit de rester plus près des activités sociales axées sur l'Église.
