Lyrics

FZ: I'd like to—for real—introduce the people in the combo before we play another tune for you . . . Larry Mondello . . . No, this . . . See, I'll tell you what the Larry Mondello is all about—There is a show that's on television—Leave It To Beaver, you know that show? Well, anyway, this is Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan, formerly of The Turtles. For their lives since that show came out there always being mistaken for Larry Mondello. Even here tonight people just really believed that these were the guys. Okay, so, Mark, Howie, Ian Underwood on keyboards, Aynsley Dunbar on drums, George Duke on electric piano and organ, and Jeff Simmons STS 1057 on bass.

Mark: And of course little Frankie Zappa. Fingers Zappa, we call him. Take it away, Fingers.

FZ: The name of this song is "The Clap" . . . Have to get into sort of a primordial tuning for this . . . We'd like to dedicate this song to The Red Throbber . . . which . . .

Howard: You've all got one.

FZ: Here we go . . .
