'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' Say, Gary.

''{Gary plays two notes on his guitar.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' Maybe you can help me with a little problem.

''{Gary plays some more notes on his guitar.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' How long do you toast a bagel for?

''{Gary plays more notes on his guitar.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' Five minutes? On what setting?

''{Gary plays on his guitar.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''(slowly)'' "Slow and low." I like it!

''{Gary plays a single note.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' But you know what I like even more?

''{Gary plays his guitar.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' When Limozeen is out on tour!

''{Guitar Solo}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{singing}'' I rolled outta bed 
As the bus rolled into town 
Can't tell if the sun is coming up 
Or going down 

Loaded sound check 
Playing a show for a sold-out crowd 
Sorry ladies, no time to party 
Limozeen can't stick around! 

We left a roadie 
Stranded at the last motel 
They misspelled "Limozeen" 
On the shirts we're supposed to sell! 

We hit the stage again 
And the crowd begins to yell 
Is it Tuesday? Is it Satruday? 
At this point, I can't tell!

Because we're zeenin' 
Into the night 
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuh-zeenin' 
Into the morning light 
Zeenin' like a pirate 
Like a pirate of love 

''{Guitar solo}''

State road 150-what? 
Who knows where we are? 
I wake up with new tattoos 
All up and down my arms 

Gary needs new strings 
For all three necks of his guitar 
When the 'Zeen rolls into your town, 
You know we go down to the bar!

Because we're zeenin' 
Into the night 
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuh-zeenin' 
Into the morning light 
Zeenin' like a mongoose 
Like a mongoose of love 
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuh-zeenin' 
Into the night 
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuh-zeenin' 
Into the morning light 
Zeenin' like a comet 
A cosmic snowball of love 
Ooh!

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{talking}'' All right, Gary. Let's tell 'em everywhere we've zeen'd.

''{As Larry lists off the tour destinations, Gary plays a lick on his guitar.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{singing}'' We're zeenin' in Gunderson 
Loughleyton 
Down to Broiter Grove 
Zeenin' through Fourborough 
Zeenin' over Dempsey, Thubley, Crambley, too 
Shuppleton, Danapolis, and Pantsburg 

Zeenin' 
Into the night (Into the night) 
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuh-zeenin' 
Into the morning light 
Zeenin' like a pony (Into the night) 
A pirate snowgoose of love 
Because we're zeenin' 
Into the night (In the night) 
Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuh-zeenin' 
Into the morning light 
Zeenin' like a pony 
Like a pirate of love 

''{Gary plays some notes on his guitar.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' The toaster had a bagel setting this whole time?!
