Frank Zappa - At The Gas Station

[includes last part of Oh No]
[Motorhead:] I worked in a cheesy newspaper company for a while but that
was terrible, I wasn't making enough money to build anything
(LOUIE LOUIE)
[Motorhead:] And then I worked in a printing company and a coupla gas
stations. Oh, at the gas station where I was working my brother just got
married, and uh . . . he bought a new car and his wife was having a kid
and all this miserable stuff, and he needed a job so I gave him a job at
the gas station of which I was fired because, you know, he was gonna work
there. And he had his car on the rack and he was lubing and changing
tires and everything all the time. And so they got fired because he was
goofing off, man, and he just kept taking parts and working on his car
day and night. And so he lost that job and he went to work in another gas
station. He took that one, you know, so he could feed the kids and that.
And I went to work in an aircraft company, and uh . . . I was building
these planes. I worked on the XB-70, I was the last welder on there. Yeah
but, it was pretty good bread because I was making, uh . . . $2.71 an
hour. I was making a hundred and a quarter a week, and uh . . . yeah, it
was good enough money to be working on, so I got an Oldsmobile, a groovy
Olds. But I was going with this chick at that time. By the time I got the
Olds running decently, she went out and tore up the engine, and the
trans, and a-her and a girlfriend they get in there and booze it up and
tear up the seats. Just ripped the seats completely out. So uh . . .
when, I got a '56 Olds, which was this one chick's I was going with, and
uh . . . we used to drive out all over the place and finally she got rid
of that, and uh . . . I got another pickup!
