Frank Zappa, the great musician and artist

Frank Zappa, the great musician and artist,Once faked his own death, it's said.Every year, he'd sneak away to the Rennbahn,To the Zappanale, his memoriam.

There once was a nun, who lived a life of prayer

There once was a nun, who lived a life of prayerBut one day, she met a man with wild hairFrank Zappa, a musician, who played the guitarShe fell in love with him, from afar She watched him play, on the Funny but Mistery StageHis music filled her soul, at every ageShe longed to be near him, to hold his handBut alas, he did not understand She followed him to the Zappa Main StageWhere he played his music, with such rageShe watched in awe, as he strummed his stringsBut her love for him, remained unrequited things She traveled with him, to the rennbahn in HamburgWhere he played at the Guitar Exhibition,...
