The Radio Is Broken

Frank Zappa

Composed by: Frank Zappa
The cosmos at large 
It's so very big 
It's so far away 
The comets...the craters...the vapors 
The solar wind 
The residual echoes...the residual echoes 
The residual echoes from the giant explosion 
Where they said it beginned 

The germs from space! 
The negative-virus knit-wear 
The blobulent suit 
That's right! THE BLOBULENT SUIT 
It's made of rubbert, it's very ugly 
It's got an air hose... 
(The guy that has it all has a SPACE WRENCH!) 

The things that were supposed to be green 
In the balck and white movies 
They get you in the neck when you're not looking 
They get you, the get you, they get you, get you, get you 
The radio is broken -- it don't work no more 
The radio is broken -- it don't work no more 
The lovely Lisa Kranston: 
(Her father invented the secred fuel (that's right!) 
For the rocket) 
So she gets to go with a clipboard! 
She writes it down when the meters go around 
And falls in love in a space warp 
Space warp 
Space warp 

The giant knobs 
The porthole where you see the earth for the first time 
The corrugated fiberglass interior walls 
The parially reclining G-force lawn furniture 
The brown hole 
The pointed brasseries 
The atomic war 
The tiny little dresses on the space girls 
A love-starved race begging to reproduce 
With earthmen 
They need to reproduce (with John Agar) 
They need to reproduce (with Morris Ankrum) 
They need to reproduce (with Richard Basehart) 
They need to reproduce (with Jackie Coogan) 
They need to reproduce (with Sonny Tufts) 
The botchino...the botchino...the botchino 

The gigantic spider 
The co-pilot always plays the harmonica 
The navigator always gets killed by a bad space person 
Uh-oh -- the radio is broken 
It don't work anymore 
The radio is broken 
It don't work anymore 
The radio is broken 
It don't work anymore 
We'll never get back to the Earth no more 
Uh-oh! 
We have to fall in love on Uranus! 
The radio is... 
That's right -- uh-oh 
The radio is broken 
The meteor storm 
You spilled your coke 
You're stepping on the popcorn 
JOHN AGAR! 
Uh-oh... 
(Dwarf Nebula)
