Help, I'm A Rock Lyrics - Wollman Rink, Central Park, Ny, August 3rd 1968 - The Mothers Of Invention

Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock! 

Ahahahahahahaaa 

Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock! 

Somebody, please, please! 

Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock... 

Wow man, it's a drag being a rock 

Help I'm a rock... 

I wish I was anything but a rock 

Heck, I'd even like to be a policeman 

Hey, you know what, you know maybe if I practised, you know 

Maybe if I passed my driving test 

I could get a gig drivin' that bus and pick some freaks up 

In front of Ben Franks, right! 

Help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop! 

(Help I'm a rock...), help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop! 

It's a drag being a cop, I think I'd rather be the mayor 

Always wondered what I was gonna be when I grew up, you know 

Always wondered whether or not, whether or not I could make it, 

You know, in society, because, 

You know, it's a drag when you're rejected 

So I tore the cover off a book of matches and I sent in 

And I got this letter back that said, UHU, AHA 

It can't happen here 

It can't happen here 

I'm telling you, my dear 

That it can't happen here 

Because I been checkin' it out, baby 

I checked it out a couple a times, hmmmmmmmm 

And I'm telling you 

It can't happen here 

Oh darling, it's important that you believe me 

(Bop bop bop bop) 

That it can't happen here 

Who could imagine that they would freak out somewhere in Kansas... 

Kansas Kansas tototototodo 

Kansas Kansas tototototodo 

Kansas Kansas 

Who could imagine that they would freak out in Minnesota... 

Mimimimimimimi Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota 

Who could imagine... 

Who could imagine 

That they would freak out in Washington, D.C. 

D.C. D.C. D.C. D.C. D.C. 

It can't happen here 

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba 

It can't happen here 

It can't happen here 

Everybody's safe and it can't happen here 

No freaks for us 

It can't happen here 

Everybody's clean and it can't happen here 

No, no, it won't happen here 

I'm telling you it can't 

It won't happen here 

(Bop bop didi bop didi bop bop bop) 

Plastic folks, you know 

It won't happen here 

You're safe, mama 

You're safe, baby 

You just cook a TV dinner 

And you make it 

(Bop bop bop) 

No no no no 

Oh, we're gonna get a TV dinner and cook it up 

Go get a TV dinner and cook it up 

Cook it up 

Oh, and it won't happen here 

(No no no no no no no no no no no 

Man you guys are really safe 

Everything's cool). 

Who could imagine 

Who could imagine 

That they would freak out in the suburbs! 

I remember (tu-tu) 

I remember (tu-tu) 

I remember (tu-tu) 

They had a swimming pool 

I remember (tu-tu) 

I remember (tu-tu) 

They had a swimming pool 

I remember (tu-tu) 

I remember (tu-tu) 

They had a swimming pool. 

And they thought it couldn't happen here 

(duh duh duh duh duh) 

They knew it couldn't happen here 

They were so sure it couldn't happen here 

But... 

Suzie... 

Yes yes yes--I've always felt that 

Yes I agree man, it really makes it...yeah... 

It's a real THING, man 

And it really makes it 

(Makes it) 

Suzie, you just got to town, 

And we've been, we've been very interested 

In your development. 

Forget it! 

Hmmmmmmmmm 

(It can't happen here)
