Status Back Baby [Playground Psychotics] lyrics
by Frank Zappa
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
