The United Mutations

Lyrics

Michael! Michael!
Gonna flash, man . . .

FZ: Please stand right here, okay?
Right.
FZ: Stand up!
Stand.
FZ: Stand up.
Stand right here.
What's the name of this choir again, Frank?
FZ: Uh . . .
Stand up.
Stand up.
The Mucus-Stickers Society . . .
Uh, uh . . .
Society Admiration Thing . . .
United Mutations.
FZ: Gongs and stuff. Play the gong.
. . .
Hi!
Hi!
. . .
Anybody have any wax paper?
Ah-hah!
Anybody got some cig—
Never touch the stuff.

You blew it.
FZ: Now wait a minute. The idea is to make sure they never know what you're saying, right?
Right.
Right.
FZ: This is rock 'n roll and it started out with people singing with gym socks in their mouths, right?
Right.
Right.
FZ: One thing I want make sure people hear and that is "Tommy, come back, I love you." Ready?
Okay.
FZ: Okay, we'll start out with "Tommy, come back, I love you."
No, I ain't seen one.
FZ: And if anybody can think of any other words to the song, start singing them, right?
Okay.
FZ: And the rest of you, look, as soon as you sense, as soon as you sense that one of your compatriots up there has got some more words to the song, start going, "Ooh wah . . . ooh," and fill in the background, okay? So we'll start out with a massive "ooh wah." One, two, ready?

OOH WAH
OOH WAH
