Lyrics

Frank zappa (guitar, vocals)
Ian underwood (alto saxophone, piano)
Bunk gardner (tenor saxophone, clarinet)
Motorhead sherwood (baritone saxophone, tambourine)
Roy estrada (bass, vocals)
Don preston (electric piano)
Arthur tripp (drums, percussion)
Jimmy carl black (drums)
Members of the bbc symphony orchestra

(During this musical section, don preston, chemically altered via macrobiotic snack consumption, is transformed into a phantom of the opera-like monster. while members of the robot combo hiss and boo him, he sneaks around behind the stage set-up, planning a terrible revenge for the rejection of his electronic music. he pounces on the unsuspecting underwood in the midst of his rapturous piano solo, strangles him, throws him to the floor, and takes his place on the bench. the final revenge? he spews forth a morbidly diatonic piece, entitled sell us a president, agency man.)

Fz:
Meanwhile (the snack?) enters the mind of dom dewild

All:
One two three four

(?):
It's the macro-biotic food

Fz:
While the well disciplined ian underwood plays his piano solo. dom de wild, transformed, begins to sneak up on him

All:
Booos
