Holding On
frank Lyrics

Then, from out of the corner from The stage, comes Roy Ralph Estrada
Roy Ralph Estrada emerges from the corner of the stage

Perturbed at the present situation Within the Mothers
Roy is disturbed by the current situation within the Mothers

Domino, Domino, Domino Biz-bo-OH Domino Biz-bo-OH, Amen, Domino Biz-bo, Hallelujah, eh Et cum spiritu tuo
Repetition of the word 'domino' and other phrases, expressing excitement and enthusiasm

Ian, I don't think I qualify for the Mothers
Roy doubts his eligibility to be part of the Mothers

They're making up their lines As they go along, isn't it thrilling?
The Mothers are improvising their lines, which is exciting

Why, Roy? Because I don't think I'm qualified i think I think I'm holding the group Back because I'm a MEXICAN and also because I Don't play bass good
Roy feels he is hindering the group due to his Mexican ethnicity and lack of proficiency in playing bass

I don't care how you can play bass but We have NO MEXICANS in this group And I wanna join your group no Mexicans!
The group does not want any Mexicans, regardless of their bass-playing skills, and Roy wants to join without being Mexican

I can sing opera, I have already Quit, I cut my hair I got all my shit together here i can do it
Roy boasts about his ability to sing opera and his readiness to prove himself by quitting his previous commitments and making personal changes

I don't care how you look You gotta be able to cut the part
Appearance is irrelevant; what matters is being able to fulfill the role

I can sing please please, Ian Give me a CHANCE
Roy pleads with Ian to give him an opportunity to showcase his singing skills

I don't believe you can sing Ah, PLEASE! Ah, Ian, please Hear my PLEA! PLEASE, ian! ple-e-e-ease!
Ian doubts Roy's singing abilities, but Roy desperately begs for a chance and pleads for Ian's consideration

I can do it, give me A CHANCE! PLEASE! Please IAN! BWAH-AH-AH-AH! Please! Okay Mexican
Roy insists that he is capable and continues to plead for a chance, resorting to vocalizations and conceding to being a Mexican

Please? I Okay Mexican Okay sing this note
Roy continues to ask for a chance and agrees to sing a specific note as a demonstration

You think everything gonna be alright
Roy hopes that everything will turn out fine

Okay you passed the first part of Your audition now you gotta sing Mi, mi, mi, mi
Roy successfully completes the first part of the audition, but now he needs to sing the notes 'Mi, mi, mi, mi'
