"Inca Roads (Cheaper Than Cheep)" lyrics - FRANK ZAPPA

[Spoken Word Intro]
FZ: And we're just getting started again, after having a little break while we went in there and looked at Calvin's goat and the parrot and everything. So, we're gonna start up with a song that deals with vehicles coming to this planet from outer space a long time ago, and people in those vehicles maybe getting out of the vehicles and carving some ruts in the top of the mountain, so that other guys in some other vehicles, when they came later could see what was going on. And George will tell you all about it. The name of the song is "Inca Roads". Here we go. And don't fuck up the introduction! Ready? And I mean that sincerely, ladies and gentlemen! Ready? One, two, three...

[Verse 1: George Duke]
Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round and did it have a motor
Or was it something different?

[Spoken Word Bridge]
FZ: Thirteen over seven
George: What was that?
FZ: Wh- the way I look at it is
Napoleon: Green, black, what you mean?
FZ: Liquid argon!
George: It's more-
FZ: It's overpriced. It's overb-
George: Hong Kong tea...

[Verse 2: George Duke]
Did a vehicle, did a vehicle, did a vehicle
Fly along the mountains
And find a place to park itself? Park itself?
Park it, park it
Or did someone build a place
To leave a space for such a thing to land?

[Instrumental break]

[Guitar Solo: Frank Zappa]

[Verse 3: George Duke]
Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there?
Did a vehicle come?
From somewhere out there?
Did the Indians, first on the bill
Carve up the hill?

[Instrumental break]

[Keyboard Solo: George Duke]

[Verse 4: George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Both, (Frank Zappa), All three]
Did a booger-bear come from somewhere out there
Just to land on the Andes?
Was she round and did she have a motor
Or was she something different?
Guacamole queen, guacamole queen, guacamole queen
At the Armadillo in Austin Texas
Or did someone build a place
To leave a space for Chester's Thing to land
(Chester's Thing) On Ruth!
Did a booger-bear come from somewhere out there?
Did a booger-bear come from somewhere out there?
Did the Indians, first on the bill, carve up her hill?

[Outro: George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock & Frank Zappa]
On Ruth, on Ruth
Ah, ah
That's Ruth

[Spoken Word Outro]
FZ: Oh, thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure I'll be making more mistakes later this evening
