| 作词 : Zappa | |
| Some of you may know that the tango, | |
| Which is not a very popular dance anymore, | |
| Was at one time reputed to be a dance of unbridled passion. | |
| Back in the old days when it wasn't so easy to get your rocks off, | |
| When it was hard to make contact with a member of the opposite camp | |
| And you had to resort to things like dancing close together | |
| And going hey... | |
| Those were the days. | |
| Well those days are probably gone forever, | |
| I don't know, | |
| Unless Nixon is going to bring them back a little bit later. | |
| But we have this very special highly evolved permutated tango. | |
| It's actually a perverted tango. | |
| By the time... | |
| Yes, it's so perverted! | |
| This is the | |
| Be-Bop Tango, | |
| A special entertainment event that includes choreography a little bit later, so watch out folks... | |
| You can turn on the big lights, we may need 'em. | |
| You know, the ones in the audience. | |
| Heh heh. Okay, 're you ready? | |
| Not too fast now 'cause | |
| I wanna get the right notes on the tape ' | |
| N' this, this has to be the one. | |
| This has to be the one with all the right notes on it. | |
| Okay, 're you ready? | |
| This is a hard one to play. | |
| One two three four... | |
| The cowbell as a symbol of unbridled passion, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| Now, as you might have noticed, | |
| Bruce Fowler has just completed some sort of trombone solo, | |
| Based on the-ah, idea of an evolved tango-event. | |
| Bruce has also prepared for you a demonstration of a dance | |
| That he hopes will sweep the ocean right after the | |
| Mud Shark did. | |
| Bruce is now warming up the important muscles of the body, | |
| In preparation...in preparation for the real live | |
| Be-Bop Tango | |
| Which we're gonna demonstrate. | |
| Napoleon will assist him. | |
| Napoleon just put your horn down, | |
| Just relax, | |
| Put your head back, | |
| Here comes the drill. | |
| Okay, heh heh heh, you know what | |
| I'm talkin' about? | |
| Okay. This is sort of like jazz in it's own peculiar way. | |
| Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny! | |
| Okay, let's go! | |
| Yeah man, jazz man, you know what | |
| I mean? This is | |
| Be-Bop, Even though you think it doesn't sound like that. | |
| Be-Bop! Now, as you might have noticed, | |
| Some of you with a musical education | |
| Can tell that the notes that | |
| George just sang when he went: "This is Be-Bop, even though you think it doesn't sound like that", | |
| Is actually a sort of a twisted form of the theme of the tango itself | |
| Which will get even more depraved as the number goes on. | |
| George will now attempt to dismember that melody, | |
| Play it and sing it at the same time while... | |
| Tu-dup. Hey, that's the way! | |
| While we sort of dance to it. | |
| Okay, try it | |
| George. Tu-dup, tu-dee... | |
| Oh yeah! As | |
| I was saying. | |
| Now, what we'd like to do at this point | |
| Is get some volunteers from the audience to... | |
| I know you will, oh | |
| God you will... | |
| We need some...heh heh heh... | |
| Now, as a matter of fact you did, didn't you... | |
| No, we wanna have some people who've never tried it bef ore, | |
| Who've never even thought of trying it before. | |
| A boy, a girl, preferably who like each other, | |
| Who would like to come up here and attempt to dance to what | |
| George sings. | |
| Do we have anybody who is...you're one. | |
| Okay, what's your name? | |
| Carl. Your name is | |
| Carl? Please | |
| Carl step on to the stage. | |
| Pleased to meet you | |
| Carl. Alright. | |
| Okay? Let's see-ah, is there anybody in the, in the back? | |
| Where...oh-oh, hey! | |
| What's your name? | |
| Rick. Rick, and? | |
| Jane. Rick and | |
| Jane and Carl! | |
| Alright, here's how it works: | |
| There's a beat going on like this; | |
| That's a pedestrian beat. | |
| You don't dance to that beat, | |
| You dance to what | |
| George sings, okay? | |
| The little ones, okay? | |
| The little quick ones, okay? | |
| Ready? George, make them dance! | |
| Dup. No no | |
| Rick, you're too reserved. | |
| Ready? Give it to 'em | |
| George! Tu-dup, tu-dup pu-dee-da... | |
| No no, come on now, loosen up. | |
| Listen, encourage them! | |
| When it... | |
| Ah! Okay! | |
| Alright, one more time: dance! | |
| Tu-dup, du-dee-da... | |

| Tu-duppy-dup-pu-dee-da... | |
| Now look, | |
| Rick and Jane and | |
| Carl, You're, you're wonderful but you're just too reserved. | |
| I still can... | |

| Ladies and gentlemen, | |
| Brenda... | |
| Brenda is a professional harlot | |
| And she just got finished stripping for a bunch of guys at | |
| Edward's Air | |
| Force Base, | |
| And she made it down here in time for the show. | |
| Two hours of taking it off for the boys in the car, really good. | |

| The first step is easy, | |
| All you gotta do is stand up. | |
| Go ahead, just stand up. | |
| There you go, you are standing up. | |
| Yes, some of you are not standing up | |
| But you won't have as much fun as the ones who are standing up. | |
| Okay, turn on the big lights so everybody can see what's going on. | |
| Yes, very many of you are standing up. | |
| Okay, link your mind with the mind of | |
| George Duke! | |
| And when... | |
| Du-dup... | |
| That's it! | |
| When he plays those funny fast little notes, | |
| Twitch around and have a good time with the | |
| Be-Bop Tango, | |

| Anything you wanna do is alright. | |
| You gotta do anything you wanna do, it's alright. | |
