Biografía:
Frank Vincent Zappa (Baltimore, 21 de diciembre de 1940 - Los Ángeles, 4 de diciembre de 1993) fue un cantante, guitarrista, compositor y artista satírico estadounidense.
De ascendencia siciliana, griega, árabe, francesa, irlandesa y alemana, fue el mayor de cuatro hijos. A causa del asma que Frank sufría, su familia se mudó en enero de 1951 a Monterey, California, unos 150 kilómetros al sur de San Francisco. Antes de volver a California (San Diego) a principios de los años 50, vivieron un tiempo en Pomona y en El Cajón.

Billy The Mountain

A regular picturesque

Residing between lovely

Rosamond and Gorman

With his stunning wife ETHELL,

A tree!

BILLY was a mountain

ETHELL was a tree

Growing off of his shoulder

(hey, hey hey!)
Ab
Billy had two big caves for eyes,
G
With a cliff for a jaw that would go up 'n down,
F#
And whenever it did he'd puff out some dust,
B Bb5 B Bb5 Ab5
And hack up a boulder
(HACK!)
B Bb5 B Bb5 Ab5
Hack up a boulder
(HACK! HACK!)
B Bb5 B Bb5 Ab5

Now, one day, now I believe it was on a Tuesday, a man in a checkered double-knit suit drove up in a large El
N.C.
Dorado Cadillac, leased from BOB SPREEN... (where the freeways meet in Downey)
N.C.
And he laid a HUGE, BULGING ENVELOPE right at the corner of BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, that was right where his
'foot' was supposed to be.
N.C.
Now, BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, he couldn't believe it! All those postcards he'd posed for, for ALL OF THOSE YEARS,
N.C.
and finally, now, AT LAST, his Royalties!
N.C.
Royalties!
N.C.
Royalties . . .
N.C.
Royalties!
N.C.
Royalty check is in, honey!
Ab5
Yes, BILLY THE MOUNTAIN was RICH!
Ab5
Yes, and his eyeball-caves, they widened in amazement, and his jaw (which was a cliff), well it dropped thirty
feet!
N.C.
A bunch of dust puffed out! Rocks and boulders hacked up, (hack! hack!) crushing 'The LINCOLN'!
Ab
I gave him the money
Bb
He acted real funny
Db
He hocked up a rock and
Db C Bb Ab
It TOTALLED my car!
Ab
Oh, do you know any trucks
Bb
Might be bound for THE VALLEY?
Db
I don't wanna stand here
Db C Bb Ab
All night in this bar
(Dear Lord)
Db
I don't wanna stand here
Db C Bb Ab
All night in this bar
(No shit!)
Db
I don't wanna stand here
Db Eb
All night in this bar!
N.C.
By two o'clock, when the bars are already closed down, BILLY had broken 'THE BIG NEWS' to ETHELL.
N.C.
And with dust and boulders everywhere, BILLY, choked with excitement, announced . . .
N.C.
"ETHELL, we're going on a VACATION!"
N.C.
Yes, and they WERE going on a vacation! (Oh, and ETHELL, ETHELL, ETHELL, like every little woman,
N.C.
she of course was very excited! She creaked a little bit, and some old birds flew off of her.)
N.C.
BILLY told ETHELL they were going to . . .
Ab G
N.C.
Yes! They were going to NEW YORK!
N.C.
"ETHELL, we're going to . . . New York!"
N.C.
But first they were gonna stop in LAS VEGAS . . .
Ab
It's off to LAS VEGAS
Bb
to check out the lounges
Db
Pull a few handles,
Db C Bb Ab
And drink a few beers,
(Oh, ETHELL!)
Ab
ETHELL, my darling,
Bb
you know that I love you!
Db
I'm glad we could have a
Db C Bb Ab
Vacation this year!
(Oh, NEET-O!)
Db
Glad we could have a
Db Eb
Vacation this year!
F G (repeat this section)
They left that night, crunchin' across the Mojave Desert . . . their voices echoing through the canyons of
your minds (POO-AAH!)
"ETHELL, wanna get a cuppa cawfee?"
(Howard Johnson's! Howard Johnson's!
Howard Johnson's! Howard Johnson's!)
"Ahhh! there's a HOWARD JOHNSONS! Wanna eat some CLAMS?"
Ab
The first noteworhty piece of real estate they destroyed was EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE . . .
Ab
And TO THIS VERY DAY, 'Wing Nuts' and Data Reduction Clerks alike, speak in reverent whispers about that
Ab
fateful night when TEST STAND #1 and THE ROCKET SLED ITSELF . . . (We have ignition!) . . .

got LUNCHED!
I said LUNCHED! (Lunched!) By a FAMOUS MOUNTAIN-IN and his SMALL, WOODEN WIFE.
