frank zappa - billy the mountain- part 1 [carnegie hall] lyrics
fz:
well, the next . . . relax, ladies and gentlemen . . . i’ll tell you what you’re going to hear, that’s “billy the mountain.” we’ve added some things to “billy the mountain” since the last time we played it at the fillmore. and if you’re a real fanatic, you’ll know exactly where they are. okay, uhm, excuse me just a moment
guy from the audience:
where is the rest of the orchestra?
fz:
you are the orchestra. for those of you who haven’t heard this piece, uh, it’s about half an hour long and it’s pretty complicated. there’s dancing, talking, singing and musical stuff in there. do me a favor and please don’t make any extraneous noise during the thing so that we don’t get f_cked up in the middle of it, okay?
mark & howard:
billy the mountain
billy the mountain
a regular picturesque
postcardy mountain
residing between lovely
rosamond and gorman
with his stunning wife eth_ll
a tree!
a tree!
billy was a mountain
fz:
billy was a mountain
mark & howard:
eth_ll was a tree
growing off of his shoulder
fz:
eth_ll was indeed a tree growing off of his shoulder
mark & howard:
billy was a mountain
fz:
a regular picturesque postcardy mountain
mark & howard:
eth_ll was a tree
growing off of his shoulder
fz:
residing between lovely rosamond and gorman
mark & howard:
billy had two big
caves for eyes
with a cliff for a jaw
that would go up ‘n down
and whenever it did
he’d puff out some dust
and hack up a boulder
(hack!)
hack up a boulder
(hack! hack!)
hack up a boulder
(hack! hack! hack!)
up a boulder
mark:
now, one day, a man in a checkered suit drove up in a large lincoln continental and he laid a huge, bulging envelope right at the corner of billy the mountain. now, that was right where billy’s ‘foot’ was supposed to be
billy the mountain couldn’t believe it! all those postcards he’d posed for, for all of those years, and finally, now, at last, his royalties!
fz & others:
royalties . .
royalties!
howard:
billy the mountain, your royalties are here!
mark:
billy the mountain was rich! oh, yes, and his eyeball_caves, they widened in amazement, and his cliff, well, it was a jaw, it dropped thirty feet!
a bunch of dust puffed out! rocks and boulders were hacked up, (hack! hack!) crushing ‘the lincoln’!
mark & howard:
i gave him the money
he acted real funny
he hocked up a rock and
it totalled my car!
oh, do you
know any trucks
might be bound for the valley?
i don’t wanna stand here
all night in this bar
(dear lord)
i don’t wanna stand here
all night in this bar
(no sh_t!)
i don’t wanna stand here
all night in this bar!
mark:
by two o’clock, when the bars are all closed down, billy the mountain had already broken ‘the big news’ to eth_ll. and with dust and boulders everywhere, billy, choked with excitement, announced . .
jim & howard:
“eth_ll, we’re going on a vacation!”
mark:
yes, and they were going on a vacation! (oh, and eth_ll, eth_ll, eth_ll, like little old woman, any old wo—, any, any little woman, she of course was very, very excited! she creaked a little bit, and some old birds flew off of her.) billy told eth_ll they were going to . . . they were going to new york!
jim & howard:
“eth_ll, we’re going to . . . new york!”
mark:
but first they would stop in las vegas . .
mark & howard:
it’s off to las vegas
to check out the lounges
pull a few handles
and drink a few beers
(oh, eth_ll!)
eth_ll, my darling
you know that i love you!
i’m glad we could have a
vacation this year!
(oh, neet_o!)
glad we could have a
vacation this year!
mark:
they left that night, crunchin’ across the mojave desert . . . their voices echoing through the canyons of your minds
jim & howard:
“eth_ll, wanna get a cuppa cawfee?”
mark & others:
(howard johnson’s! howard johnson’s!
howard johnson’s! howard johnson’s!)
jim & howard:
“ahhh! there’s a howard johnsons! wanna eat some clams?”
jim:
the first noteworthy piece of real estate they destroyed was edwards air force base . .
fz:
and to this very day, ‘wing nuts’ and data reduction clerks alike, speak in reverent whispers about that fateful night when test stand _1 and the rocket sled itself was . . . lunched!
all:
(lunched!)
fz:
by a famous mountain_in and his small, wooden wife
mark & howard:
good bye to las vegas
farewell to the lounges
we pulled a few handles
we drank a few beers
(chug_a_lug_a_lug!)
guess that george pontoon
should be on the air now
with the biggest new story
that has broken this year
(george pontoon!)
his biggest new story
that has broken this year
(take it away, newscaster george pontoon!)
jim:
word just in to the new nurz service . .
mark:
nurz service?
jim:
. . . undeniably links this mountain and his wife to drug abuse and pay_offs as part of a staten island sm_t ring! however, we can assure parents in manhattan that a recent narcotics crack_down in philadelphia, kansas city, denver, indianapolis, queens, the bronx, and other important cities in new york state will provide mayor lindsay the secret evidence he has needed to seek a criminal indictment, and pave the way for stiffer legislation, increased federal aid, and avert a crippling strike of high school teachers and taxi drivers throughout the empire state. however it is this reporter’s opinion that eth_ll is a former communist . .

pools of old poison gas, and obsolete germ bombs
mark:
just as a freak tornado cruised through . .
fz:
oh, yes, it was about three o’clock in the afternoon, little howard kaplan was sitting on his stoop
howard:
(“auntie em!”)
fz:
squeezing his concertina
howard:
(“auntie em!”)
fz:
when a mysterious wind came up from the east
howard:
(“toto . . . ! come back, toto!”)

howard:
“we’re not gonna let you go, baby!”
mark:
but george pontoon, the right_wing radical fascist pinko pr_cko . . . newscaster from los angeles had this to say:
howard:
take it away, george pontoon, the radical right_wing fascist pinko pr_cko newscaster from los angeles, hey!
jim:
“we now have confirmed reports from an informed lutheran minister in pontiac, michigan, that eth_ll is still an active communist, and it is this reporter’s opinion that she also practices . . . ”
howard:
(coven!)
jim:
“witch_craft!”
fz:
it was about this time that the telephone rang inside of the secret briefcase belonging to the one mortal man who might be able to stop all of this senseless destruction and save ‘america herself’! and that one mortal man, as you’d probably remember from the fillmore east, was none other than studebaker hoch, fantastic new hero of the current economic slump. bring the band on down behind me, boys. and the details of studebaker:
howard:
now, some folks say he looked like iggy stooge
mark:
(iggy stooge, now)
howard:

mark:
(others say . . . )
howard:
he’s just another crazy italian who drove a red sports car, you know
mark:
(crazy italian . . .)
howard:
but the funny thing was, n0body knew for sure, because he was so_o_o_o_o_o mysterious
mark:
(but n0body knows for sure ’cause he was so mysterious) . .
mark & howard:
he was so
(he was so, he was so!)
mysterious!
he was so
(he was so, he was so!)
mysterious!
‘cuz when a person gets to be
such a hero, folks
and marvelous beyond compute
you can never really tell
about a guy like that
(whether he’s really a nice person
or if he just smiles a lot)
or if he has a son named ‘pinocchio’
or what?
fz:
whether he’s really a nice person or if he has a son named ‘pinocchio’ or what?
mark & howard:
some men say he could fly
some men say he could swim
others say he could sing (like neil sedaka)
and all the girls in flushing
would be amazed of him

mark:
beef pies!
he was born next to the beef pies
underneath joni mitch_ll’s autographed picture
right beside james taylor’s bulging bank book
and next to
carole king’s contraceptives
on the boat
where david crosby flushed all his stash
so they took him away
and locked him up inside a big jail
and there he sang déjà vu
to himself until he got bail
and then he walked
down the streets with mcguinn
just before
before he changed his name back to jim
and he got his cape
from the byrds out of the cleaners
mark & howard:
froze_ing by the pies!
froze_ing by the pies!
froze_ing by the pies!
(and that was the main influence on him!)
fz:
obviously that was the main influence on him
jim:
boldly springing into action, he phoned his wife
mark:
(who ran a modeling school), whereupon he . . . he ran around the back of the nearest a&p to find some big, un_used cardboard boxes
howard:
after which, he hit up the nearest gristede’s for some ‘kaiser broiler foil’, some ‘aunt jemima syrup’, and a pair of blunt scissors!
mark:
and in the parking lot of the one fifth avenue (in between a pair of customized trucks where n0body was looking), he cut out some really, really, really nice wings, and then he covered them thoroughly with foil!
mark & howard:
thorough_ly wi_th foil_l_l!
thorough_ly wi_th foil_l_l!
jim:
then he took those ‘wings’ and wedged one under each of his powerful arms and sneaked into a telephone booth . .
mark:
he shut the f_cking door! and then he pulled down his blue denim policeman type looking trouser, and he spread even amounts of aunt jemima syrup all over the inside of his thighs!
jim:
soon the booth was filling with flies!
mark & howard:
(help me, help me, help me!)
jim:
he held open the legs of his boxer shorts so they could all get in
mark:
(yes! yeah!), and when each and every one of those little c_cksuckin’ flies had gone into the phone booth with him, and they were lapping up all that good old aunt jemima syrup, well, he bent over and he put his own head between his legs and he said in a very, very clear, l. ron hubbard_type voice . .
mothers:
“new york!”
. . . and the booth and everything lifted up, out of the parking lot, and into the sky!
mark & howard:
studebaker hoch
yeah, yeah
studebaker hoch
stu_de_baker hoch!
studebaker hoch
yeah, yeah
studebaker hoch
stu_de_baker hoch!
he’s coating his legs
with aunt jemima syrup up and down!
his shorts’ll be filled with flies
that will be buzzing all around!
stoodlabaker hoch
he’s really outa sight!
stoodlabaker hoch
he does it every night!
stoodlabaker hoch
he treats the flies all right
stoodla_baker hoch
that’s why they never bite, hey!
he could be a dog
or a frog
or a lesbian queen!
(fly to new york!)
he could be a nark
or a lady marine!
or he might play dirty!
he’s over thirty!
(getting old? say! i don’t know!)
his peculiar attire
and the flies he require
keep leading him on
’cause eth_ll is gone
and the mountain she’s on
(please to new york!
fly to new york!)
zappa!
