Loading...

[intro, spoken, voices “a” and “b”]
a: “wow, do you hear that?”
b: “yeah, it sounds like it’s coming from the big auditorium downtown!”
a: “that can only mean one thing!”

[chorus]
frankie’s in town (x3)

[verse]
[whispered]
she gets delirious
freaks will be coming from miles around
(spoken: “yeah, my boyfriend knew the b-ss player when he had black hair!”)
’cause they know they’ll hear something profound
[sung]
when frankie’s in town!
for six weeks, they circled the date
just can’t wait ’til they open the gates
to hear him sing about the stuff that he hates

[chorus]

[verse]
he used to write songs about girls with big jugs
but this time, he brought his ballet to work out the bugs
and then he wonders why kids take drugs
when frankie’s in town

well his voice don’t do what it used to do (yeah)
so he carries around (so he carries around)
a black person too (a black person too, ooh yeah)
he says what he sings can make the kids laugh
(frankie, spoken: “you see there’s this guy in wisconsin making a giant american flag out of nothing but used [?]… that’s right, p-ss ’em up.”)
then he plays his guitar for an hour and a half (oh no)

[solo]
[whispered] he doesn’t notice that the audience is leaving
(spoken: “i thought you said this guy was funny!”)
but boy, those elevens sure are even!

[spoken]
group of “kids”: “why, frankie, why?”
frankie: “aw, c’mon kids, you know you love it.”
kids: “why, frankie, why?”
frankie: “here, check this out.” [lead guitar riff]
kids: “why, frankie, why?”
frankie: “because it’s…”

[sung]
good for you (it’s so)
good for you

[spoken]
frankie: “you know, like varèse, ‘ionisation’, elliott carter… you remember elliott carter. they used to file him next to the cadillacs’ records at sam goody so dumb kids like me’d buy ’em? nevermind.”

[verse]
he learned how to write for nine xylophones
he learned how to write to sound like spike jones
maybe next time he’ll learn not to follow the stones
when

[chorus x2]

do you know what you like?
i like what i is
