Well folks,
welcome to part two
Ab 
Abm 
of our teenage extravaganza here tonight.
F# 
During, I'm going
Bb 
D 
During this section, I'm go ing to...
F#m 
F# 
Say it again. mean,
F 
F# 
E 
D 
Emil six doubles Radokia?
F# 
All right, now listen.
D 
I don't know what's going to happen
here
when I turn this guitar on.
It may be louder than the
Gm 
band.
F# 
I hope it doesn't mess it up
too much. know, fuzz tone
Gm 
and this other stuff
D 
F# 
D 
doesn't go together too much. We are, let's see,
Gm 
D 
what do we, oh, this song that we're going to play
F# 
is called Rol lo,
Ab 
F# 
and the story of Rollo goes like this.
D 
Abm 
In a record that we had out
D 
E 
about a year or so ago,
F# 
in the Apostrophe album,
there was a song called Don't Eat
D 
F# 
D 
the Yellow Snow.
F# 
D 
And also, in the end of that,
Gm 
there was a section
D 
called St. Alfonso's Pancake
Breakfast.
F# 
D 
Now, during the St. Alfonso area,
there's a little tune that goes,
Abm 
F# 
D 
ra -na -na -na -na -na -na  -na -na -na -na -na  -na -na.
Well, that little area there used to be called Rallo a long time ago,
and I just stuck it in St. Alfonso
Gm 
because I thought it was cute,
F# 
D 
but this is sort of a puffed up version
Gm 
of the original Rallo in its original
D 
format.
F 
It's more, yeah, it's sort of puffed up son of Rallo,
yes, and it has,
D 
for those of you who are
into the contrapuntal field,
Ab 
it has some contrapuntal doodads at
the end
that you might enjoy,
D 
but basically what it's got in the middle
A 
of it is a dumb guitar solo
D 
and the key of E minor
that will lengthen the program
Ab 
D 
by about, oh, five more minutes.
A 
And... All right.
D 
F 
And so on and so forth.
D 
So here's Michael Zurat again.
He's going to come up and wave
the stick on it.
Thank
D 
Thank you.
D 
D 
Thank
Gm 
F 
you.
D 
Thank you very much.
