Zappa Frank - The Radio Is Broken Lyrics

The cosmos at large it's so very big
It's so far away
The cometsthe cratersthe vapors
The solar wind
The residual echoesthe 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 botchinothe botchinothe 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)
