Letra Status Back, Baby - Frank Zappa & the Mothers
Fz: of course we'll send the penguin through the flaming hoop tonight!
guy in the audience: "concentration moon"!
fz: of course we'll play "concentration moon" for you! one, two, three, four . . .
Ooo-ooo-ooo etc., etc.,
ah-ah wa wa wa wa wa wa wah!
I'm losin' status at the high school
i used to think that it was my school . . .
wow wow wow!
i was the king of every school activity
but that's no more . . . oh mama!
what will come of me?
The other night we painted posters
we played some records by the coasters
wow wow wow!
a bunch of pom-pom girls looked down their nose at me.
they had painted tons of posters; i had painted three.
i hear the secret whispers everywhere i go
my school spirit is at an all-time low . . . oh no!
Fz: of course we'll play "petrushka"!
I'm losing status at the high school
i used to think that it was my school . . .
wow wow wow!
everyone in town knows i'm a hand-some football star
i sing & dance & spray my hair & drive a shiny car
i'm friendly & i'm charming . . . i belong to de molay
i'm gonna try like mad to get my status back today!
status back baby
status back baby
status back baby
status back baby
