Holding the Group Back Lyrics

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! 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...
