Donny Donny Hey, what are you doin'? Silence, you fools Don't you believe in progress? Take that progress and stick it under a rock We must overthrow the diatonic system (Yes) Bullshit We are coming to the beginning of a new era wherein the Development of the inner self will be the most important factor Donny, your music is full of shit And besides that, you need discipline Listen Give me 4/4 (Togetherness) Yeah Some old melodies Look, playing (What about a tie?) Playing that kind of music and eating meat will never You'll never be able to see my aura then I've seen your aura a lot You've been drinking, Don I can hear your aura and it's bad, man Listen, there are many strange things that science doesn't know (Fuck it) Discipline, you need discipline No 4/4 It's got to be new, it's got to progress, it's got to evolve There must be growth Oh man You've got to eat macrobiotic food We're doing a play And study astrology Delve into the occult world Well, you can delve all you want, but we're forming a new group Goโ€” go and do you some yoga exercises Look Take care of business there Mark my words If you continue playing this music, something strange may happen Don't threaten me By the end of the first show By the end of the first show No, the second show So at this point in the development of our plot The three talented members of the Mothers of Invention Have quit the group to form their own band with a lot of discipline Yeah This is what we need, is a nice disciplined combo And so that they will be completely packaged And fit in with the rest of the disciplined combo The former members of the Mothers of Invention Receive their initiation into the robot musical world This makes me nervous, I'm gonna go do some yoga Yeah, you better Meanwhile, Don DeWild, under pressure Prepares to unwind with some healthy yoga exercises Ha ha ha ha ha Ha! Ha! That's really nice This is Euclid "Motorhead" Sherwood Look at him out there He's nervous 'cause he couldn't play with our new group Oh, real nice Look at those suits Motorhead covets the uniforms of the other band And also shows some interest in the bum of Underwood Hey! Hey, ten years ago, I knew a lot of guys that had suits like this Hey, can I play in your band and get a suit like that too? No! But I like the suits and I can play good I can play You can play anything Motorhead is lying, he can't play good, he can't play anything He's trying to con his way into the other band I've heard you play before He knows they don't want him But I've been practicing, I play good He's lying, he hasn't been practicing, he doesn't do shit Last week you couldn't even count to four Come on, beat it, man You can't do that to me, I'll fix you I'll get into your band I'll do anything, you can't stop me Motorhead, just get out of the way I'll get into your son's band Motorhead explains to the members of the robot combo That nothing can stop him He will join their group whether they like it or not
