Zappa, Frank - Divan Lyrics






[includes a quote from Tico-Tico no Fuba (Zequinha de Abreu)]

Ballen von Zecken
Und alten Sporthemden, Sporthemden, Sporthemden
Lachen von Feuer
Lachen von Gummi
Lachen von Tranen
(Sheets of tears)
Ooh ooh ooh awh . . .
Lachen von getrocknetem Wasser
(Sheets of drywall and roofing)
Lachen von drywall und roofing
(Sheets of large deprived rumba)
Lachen von riesigen, tief-gefrorenen Rumba

A light shines down from heaven
A dense ecumenical bandana
At the right hand of God's big rumba

And his voice pronounceth out
In sheets of plywood
And bales of old sportshirts
And this is what he said

Beklecker nicht
Beklecker nicht
Beklecker nicht
Beklecker nicht
Mein Sofa!

And you know what that means . . .

    One of my favourite FZ albums all star musicians as usual.

  2. K.... T....

    reminds me of my own old red sofa. i'm getting old on that sofa. squeezed like a punschkrapfen. miss you, frank. we all will meet again 🌷

  3. P.... D....

    It reminds me also of Handel - majesty!

  4. P.... D....

    What a fantastic song! Reminds me of riding thru sylmar and Lancaster, in the 60s. A fav since the album appeared!

  5. R.... R....

    Great song. I prefer the zappa in new york version! With michael brecker shining...

  6. M.... S....

    This song is quintessential Zappa.
    I will have it played at my funeral.
    Way to go!

    M.... S....

    I'm having this at my funeral too!!! Also "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace"

    M.... S....

  10. b.... ....

    A Magnum Opus is you ask me. Thank you for sharing.

  11. i.... ....

    Mothers are one of those bands, that make Beatles sound like a garage band....... no disrespect :D:D

    i.... ....

    Zappa is good but that is just nonsense.

    i.... ....

    No thats just not true. That would mean something along the lines of the beatles being rock and zappa some sort of super duper rock witch isn´t really the case. The beatles is rock but zappa not of higher class but of a different one. He is among the great historical composers whilst the beatles are the no1 rock band for many.

    i.... ....

    totally agree

    i.... ....

    I'm glad you said that! Absolutely Free and True!

  12. s.... ....

    from my fave Zappa album & one of my all time top 20 albums

  13. H.... M....

    I bought this album in 1975 and i still listen to it regularly. Zappa made so much great music.

  14. E.... B....

    Que delícia...
