Holding The Group Back

(album: Ahead Of Their Time - 1993)

[FZ:] Then, from out of the corner from the stage, comes Roy Ralph Estrada, perturbed at the present situation within the Mothers.

[Roy:] Domino, Domino, Domino Biz-bo-OH,
Domino Biz-bo-OH, Amen, Domino Biz-bo, Hallelujah, eh . . .
[Ian:] Et cum spiritu tuo . . .
[Roy:] Ian, I don't think I qualify for the Mothers
([FZ:] They're making up their lines as they go along, isn't it thrilling?)
[Ian:] Why, Roy?
[Roy:] Because I don't think I'm qualified. I think, I think I'm holding the group back because I'm a MEXICAN. And also because I don't play bass good.
[Ian:] I don't care how you can play bass but we have NO MEXICANS in this group.
[Roy:] And I wanna join your group.
[Ian:] No Mexicans!
[Roy:] I can sing opera, I have already quit, I cut my hair, I got all my shit together here. I can do it.
[Ian:] I don't care how you look you gotta be able to cut the part.
[Roy:] I can sing. Please. Please, Ian, give me a CHANCE.
[Ian:] I don't believe you can sing.
[Roy:] Ah, PLEASE! Ah, Ian, please, hear my PLEA! PLEASE, IAN! PLE-E-E-EASE! I can do it, give me a CHANCE! PLEASE! Please, IAN!
([FZ:] Try me!)
[Roy:] BWAH-AH-AH-AH! Please!
[Ian:] Okay Mexican
[Roy:] Please?
[Ian:] Okay Mexican
[Roy:] Okay.
[Ian:] Sing this note:

[Roy (with JCB):]
You think everything gonna be alright.

[Ian:] Okay. You passed the first part of your audition. Now you gotta sing . . .
[Roy:] Mi, mi, mi, mi . . .
