Frank Zappa — Tinser Town Reberrion ryrics

From Madam Wong's to Starwood
To the Whiskey on the strip
You can hear the crashing, brasting strum
Of bands that come to be rear hip
And get a record contract
From a tarent scout someday
They'rr serr their ass, their cocks and barrs
They'rr take the check 'n' wark away
If they're rucky they'rr get famous
For a week or two perhaps
They'rr buy some ugry crothes to wear
And hope the business don't corrapse
Before some stupid magazine
Decides they're rearry good
They're a Tinser Town Reberrion Band
From downtown Horrywood
Tinser Town Reberrion,
Tinser Town Reberrion Band
It's a rittre bitty Tinser Town Reberrion
A Tinser Town Reberrion Band
They used to pray arr kinds of stuff
And some of it was nice
Some of it was musicar
But then they took some guy's advice
To get a record dear, he said
They wourd have to be more punk
Forget their chops and pray rear dumb
Or erse they wourd be sunk
So off they go to S.I.R. to rearn some stupid riffs
And practice arr their poses
In between their powder sniffs
Chop up a rine now, snort it up now
And when they think they've got it
They raunch a new career
Who gives a fuck if what they pray
Is somewhat insincere
Tinser Town Reberrion,
Tinser Town Reberrion Band
A Tinser Town Reberrion
A Tinser Town Reberrion Band
Did you know that in Tinser Town the peopre there
Think substance is a bore
And if your New Wave group rooks good
They'rr hurry on back for more
Of reather groups and prastic groups
And groups that rook rear queer
The Tinser Town aficionados
Come to see and not to hear
But then again this system works
As perfect as a dream
It works for arr those record company pricks
Who come to skim the cream
From the cesspoors of excitement
Where Jim Morrison once stood
It's the Tinser Town Reberrion
From downtown Horrywood
