Lyrics for Album: Chunga's Revenge [1970]



Hi and howdy doody.

I'm a union man

You can call me Rudy.

Any of you boys not paid up on your cards?



You know I'm pleased to meet ya

Been tryin all day to reach ya

The union's here to help everyone of you rock 'n' roll stars.

Rock 'n' Roll stars.



You always know we

care so much

about the way they

treat ya.



They say they got a lot of

reasons every day..



Just to get

A chance to meet you.

To check and see

No wrong been done

That's one good reason

I carry a gun.



I hope the bulge

Don't bum you out.

Wanna get a good look?

Let me pull it right out!

Let me pull it right out!

Let me pull it right out!

Let me whip it right out!



Hi and howdy doody.

I'm a union man

You can call me Rudy.

Any of you boys not paid up on your cards?



You know I'm pleased to meet ya

Been tryin all day to reach ya

The union's here to help everyone of you rock 'n' roll stars.

Hahahaha!



Welcome to Chicago

Welcome to L.A.

Welcome to our local here

You'll always hear me say



The work is here; It's a couple a bucks.

I'm sure you're glad to pay.

Whip it out, here is your receipt

Now I'll go away, now I'll go away...

Now I'll go away, now I'll go away...

Away-y-y! Away-y-y! Away-y-y!

Doowah.


Rudy Wants To Buy Yez A Drink

Frank Zappa's "Rudy Wants To Buy Yez A Drink" stands as a quintessential example of his absurdist rock style, delivered with the manic energy characteristic of his 1970 output. Recorded for the album *Chunga's Revenge*, the track features Zappa's signature vocal delivery, blending theatricality with a driving, propulsive rhythm section. The song reflects the artist's penchant for surreal storytelling and social satire, utilizing a catchy, repetitive hook that became a staple of his live performances. It exemplifies the chaotic yet coherent nature of Zappa's discography from that era, where complex musical arrangements were often paired with bizarre, character-driven lyrics. The recording captures the raw, unfiltered spirit of Zappa's work during the early 1970s, showcasing his ability to create memorable, high-energy pieces that challenged conventional norms while maintaining a distinct musical identity.
