Okay, let's put Captain Beefheart on all the guest lists from now [B] on.
Yeah, yeah, [Bm] word might get to him or people might start [A] seeing him around.
[Cm] Excuse me girls, I'm [C] trying to promote a rock and [G] roll show tonight.
Rock and roll!
[C] What do you think of my pitch line?
Do you think it's [F] too aggressive?
[Cm] No.
[F] Are you going anywhere tonight, girls?
[F] When we have that bid, you can't forget [G] me, we have a date, okay?
[D#] When you hustle, you've got to have a hard shell.
Like Captain Beefheart said, [C] one cold vibe won't stop this here [G#] boogie.
I'm trying to [Em] promote a rock show, I don't [C] know if you're interested, it's on tonight.
Well, we'll be [A] here.
Huh?
Change of [G] ticket.
The crucial thing is when you make the pitch, like on this time, Huckster [E] businesses,
the body space between you and the punter is very, [F#] very measured in [C#] very [D#] nano-millimeters.
Some of [F] the guys in my band look really tight.
They're thin and [Gm] they're English.
[Fm] They're sexy.
[C] [E] I'm trying to promote a rock and roll [A] show.
All right.
Tonight, where are you going to go at 9 o'clock?
Trump Marina, [A] the showroom.
9pm sharp.
Okay.
We [Bm] begin playing.
Okay.
Do you want to keep [G] the flyer?
That's [D] hand done by me.
All right.
Trying to drum up business.
All right.
[Gm] Okay.
[B] [N]
You guys covered part of that song.
Yeah, we did the whole song.
I mean, we put new words to it, but it drove Captain Beefheart crazy.
Why?
Because he happened to be in the Audimat in San Francisco and we [F] were mixing that.
And we left the door, I only read this in a book about him recently, and apparently
we left our mix room door open so that the sound spilled out down the corridors.
And he was in another studio, and apparently he said,
God damn, with that clash and [G] that bloody go tell Aunt Rhody, I can't bloody think.
And I assume go tell Aunt Rhody is a similar.
Like it must have been driving him out of his mind hearing that catchy riff, you know.
[E] He must have been [D] going like, shut the door.
[C] I'm mortified that I made my hero have a headache.
[G] [F]
[Bm] [D]
