It can't happen here

Because I been checkin' it out, baby
I checked it out a couple a times
Oh darling, it's important that you believe me
(Bop bop bop bop)
That it can't happen here

FZ: I suppose that's all you needed to hear of that one. All right, I'll tell ya, we've got this song here that we recorded—silence, fool—that we recorded in London a couple of weeks ago and we thought it was a reasonably commercial song—but of course it's doomed if we put our name on it and put the thing out on the market. It's a, you know, it's a boy-girl situation song, it's a simplistic love song .
: Acne love
FZ: A sealed tuna sandwich of a song .
: [...] here in Minnesota
FZ: All right, now, the name of this song is "I'm Crying For Sharleena," and uh, it'll probably be released under the pseudonym of The Bognor Regis

Mark: Frank's had fun, uh, Jeff's had fun, we've all had fun
Howard: I've had fun!
Jeff: And you too, on the end of the stage
FZ: You have to be really in tune when you play these commercial songs
Howard: Stay off my back, Frank. Heh heh .
