Earl Of Duke lyrics

[Spoken Word Intro]
FZ: That is the sound of a very short cymbal. It's a finger cymbal
George Duke: Woo
FZ: It's something that's normally worn on the finger, and another one is worn on the thumb. The thumb and the finger are beaten together with these two little metal things to make it go ding, ding, ding. George Duke is now applying an ingenious technique, to the finger cymbal itself, as a prelude, a preamble to some sort of fantastic keyboard solo that he's going to invent for you right here on the spot. We don't know what he's going to do
George Duke: Hoo
FZ: We never know what George is going to do, and perhaps it's best for all of us
Napoleon Murphy Brock: Ha ha ha ha...
FZ: It'd better be best for all of us
George: I'm getting to like that
Napoleon: Ahaha...
George: Mh, that's called a push beat
FZ: I thought it was a grace note
Napoleon: Hahaha... I thought it was a booger-bear
FZ: Yes, you— you would think so
George: But then, as he was thinkin' about whether it was a booger-bear or not, somethin' happen'd
FZ: Mmm... Well
Napoleon: Sao sao
George: Just like it did last show. And somethin' started a-rumblin' . . . And then all of a sudden . . . It got LOUDER! And it got LOUDER! And it got LOUDER until I couldn't stand it! WOW! Goodness gracious! And then somethin'
FZ: Oh, why don't you sharpen it then?
Napoleon Murphy Brock: Jesus!
George: Something else happened. It was midnight. And Ruth wouldn't come through
Napoleon: Ahahaha...
FZ: Midnight in the laboratory of a nationally known mad scientist
George: I told her. I told her, I said, "It ain't gonna hurt you."
Napoleon: Tsch-chsch, tsch-tsch-chsch
George: But then
FZ: But then. But then...
George: Na na na-na na na na na na-na
[Instrumental Break]
Ow
Can you feel it now?

[Verse: George Duke, (Napoleon Murphy Brock)]
You know what I'm talking about, Napi?
(Na na na na na na na na na na na)
I'm comin' down in a minute
I'm comin' down there
(Come on, down, come on!)

[Keyboard Solo: George Duke]

[Spoken Word Outro]
Napoleon: Tsch-tsch tsch tsch tsch tsch-tsch-chsch
FZ: Ruth has got the lick alright
Napoleon: Ha ha ha ha...
FZ: Ha ha ha... Go on, Ruth
Ruth Underwood: Give the gong player some!
FZ: Give the— Give the gong player some. Now we're gonna continue on, we're just gonna melt away into another tune. This is a love song of sorts, you know, it's a little bit tweaked, but . . . it's one of those ones you gotta stick in the show somewhere there. Ready? One, two, three, four
