about

"All relationships start off in an amazing place. You’re in love. You want to spend all of your time with them. But eventually, some relationships go to such a bad place that you just want out. Sometimes it’s not that easy - you need something removed.

True story: Years ago, I had an old, junked out piano and I needed it moved. I didn’t want to spend the money on a true “piano mover." A friend of mine owned an antique store so I asked her who she used to move furniture that didn’t need special care. She gave me a piece of red paper that had, in bold lettering, 'SCRAP METAL, CALL FRANK. 555-555-5555.' So that’s where the chorus comes from: 'She ain’t nothin’ but a bunch of scrap metal…Somebody Call Frank.'"

-Jeremy

lyrics

Have you ever met a woman that you just can’t get out of your head
Have you ever met a woman you just can’t kick out of your bed
Have you ever met a woman that a 9 on the Richter can’t shake
You can’t g-get that woman out of your head no matter what kind of move you make

She ain’t nothin' but a bunch of scrap metal
Nothin' but a ball and chain
She’s as heavy as an anchor on a freight liner
Weighin' down my heart with pain
She’s a useless as a headless hammer
But with nails that will cut right through your soul
Somebody please advise how not to listen to her lies
Oh don't you listen to her cries
Somebody Call Frank
Mmm, Somebody Call Frank

Have you ever met a woman that just won't give you no rest
Have you ever met a woman you can't please even doin' your best
Have you ever met a fine young thing, turns out she's like a monkey on your back
She just won't leave, she just won't move it along, there's no more air to breathe

She ain’t nothin' but a bunch of scrap metal
Nothin' but a ball and chain
She’s as heavy as an anchor on a freight liner
Weighin' down my heart with pain
She’s a useless as a headless hammer
But with nails that will cut right through your soul
Somebody please advise how not to listen to her lies
Oh don't you look into her eyes
Somebody Call Frank
Mmm, Somebody Call Frank

Listen to this

Aw, Somebody Call Frank, he’ll get rid of anything you don’t want around
He won’t ask you no questions, you don’t need no confessions
Just some cash cause he charges by the pound
Better say your goodbyes, don’t you leave no ties
Wake up tomorrow and she’ll be gone
You better get that woman out of your head 'cause Frank - he's gonna hook you up

Trombone solo

She ain’t nothin' but a bunch of scrap metal
Nothin' but a ball and chain
She’s as heavy as an anchor on a freight liner
Weighin' down my heart with pain
She’s a useless as a headless hammer
But with nails that will cut right through your soul
Somebody please advise how not to listen to her cries
Oh don't you listen to her lies
Somebody Call Frank
Mmm, Somebody Call Frank

Yeah - You best get him on the line
Yeah, yeah, yeah
