ZZ Top Lyrics


This sturdy American blues-rock trio from Texas consists of
Billy Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass), and Frank Beard
(drums). They were formed in 1970 in and around Houston
from rival bands the Moving Sidewalks (Gibbons) and the
American Blues (Hill and Beard). Their first two albums
reflected the strong blues roots and Texas humor of the
band. Their third album (Tres Hombres) gained them national
attention with the hit "La Grange," a signature riff tune
to this day, based on John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen."

    ------ About the song Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers performed by ZZ Top

There's a live performance on Youtube that looks and sounds like Dusty is saying Pancho pie and Billy says house congressional, but I can't get house congressional out of the original no matter how I listen to it.

La Grange | Reviewer: db
    ------ About the song La Grange performed by ZZ Top

As a young man in the late 60's, I made the trip to the Chicken Ranch, long before it was shut down from bad publicity from a Houston "news reporter" who was trying to make a big name for himself. Anyone who lived around south Texas knows what I'm talking about. I had heard about the Chicken Ranch for ever, as had most Texas boys, it was a Texas legend that went back to the 20's-30's I believe. All you had to do was drive into La Grange and ask almost any man you met where the Chicken Ranch was, they all knew where it was. Just a little house right outside of town. Take it from someone who has actually been in there, as I'm sure Billy,Dusty and Frank were, we're all around the same age. It's about "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". They had a lotta nice girls there, ahaw haw haw!!!

    ------ About the song La Grange performed by ZZ Top

Yes, it is about the Chicken Ranch. Been there just a week ago. It nothing but a dirt & grass feild now. Not a thing left at all! Matter of fact when I rode through I inquired specifically about it. So Bobby you're right.

    ------ About the song La Grange performed by ZZ Top

To those who question the lyrical meaning of the song "La Grange", by ZZ Top: The men who wrote this song are raunchy, gritty, rough neck, beer drinkin', hell raisin' south Texas boys. They ain't talkin' 'bout getting to know a delicate, yet strong willed, ambitious, single mother of 3, who overcame life's obstacles - with all odds stacked against her - to become a successful, pants suit clad career woman over a tea, scones, & fritatta brunch at an all organic - and moderately priced - local bakery run by the aunt & uncle of her late exhusband. If you think the song is NOT about a whorehouse, or The Chicken Ranch specifically, what do you think it IS about? I wouldn't even wanna know the innocent tale of romantic entaglement you think is the base of the song "Pearl Necklace", also by ZZ Top.   

It's about "The Chicken Ranch" | Reviewer: Robby
    ------ About the song La Grange performed by ZZ Top

I think the song refers to famous brothel "The Chicken Ranch" that is just outside the city limits of LaGrange. The brothel was also the inspiration for the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas".

    ------ About the song Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers performed by ZZ Top

the only problem is the period in this version of the lyrics. They are saying, "well, I'll be here around suppertime with my can of dinner and a bunch of fine Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah." (i.e., Just me and my bad-a** friends and a bunch of beer!)

RE: how do you know it's about a whorehouse? | Reviewer: adriaan
    ------ About the song La Grange performed by ZZ Top

well:

"and you know what I'm talkin' about."
--> would you say this about a garage with a keg?

"They gotta lotta nice girls ah."
--> They gotta lotta would sound like somebody has a "stock" of girls, it would be less vague if they had used something like there are a lot of nice girls or something like that.

"Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
and the ten to get yourself in."
--> you need to pay ten bucks to get into a garage with a keg and some loose girls?

just my 2cents

House Congressional? C'mon! already!! | Reviewer: johnny mak
    ------ About the song Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers performed by ZZ Top

Ok I know he's not saying "house congressional" to me it sounds like this "Sounds a lot like a big ole house from Merle" (Like when Merle Haggard was in jail or the big house) hard to hear what he's saying but that's what I'm singing dammit!
Also I hear "with a can of dinner and a Punch of Iron" this one I'm pretty sure of and it makes sense in the context of the song seeing as though theys Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers!Yup.
