	Some girls try it 'n' go on a diet Then they worry 'cause they's too fat Who wants t'ride on a ironin' board? That ain't no fun...I tried me one
From: John Henley <jhenley@mail.utexas.edu> I don't think anyone really knows if Frank preferred fat women. Gail was not fat when he married her. I think it's a mistake to assume that it's always Frank himself talking in these songs. It may be some other "character."
From: fnord@panix.com (Cliff Heller) Temper it with "Jumbo Go Away".
In my younger days I preferred my women thin. Now prefer a little meat.

From: fnord@panix.com (Cliff Heller) 1) To talk to (i.e. try to pick up ) people standing against the Wall in a nightclub.
2) To stand against the wall in a nightclub waiting to be picked up/talked to To have sex with someone while standing up, leaning against the wall.
Frank uses the term loosely, although I believe it originated with "Mudd Club" - "work the wall, work the pipe, work the chain, in serious leather"
In "Jazz Discharge Party Hats" it takes on a more generic meaning:
"So anyway these guys from the crew decided they were gonna 'work the wall' on these girls, you know what I mean?" Where Frank was basically using it as a replacement for 'fuck'.
From: flavver@aol.com (Dave Logemann) Actually it goes back to "Broken Hearts are for Assholes," on Sheik Yerbouti:
"...You worked the wall with Michael Which gave your back an awful strain..."
From: fnord@panix.com (Cliff Heller) While Sheik was released first, I wouldn't be surprised if Mudd Club was written and performed first.
From: flavver@aol.com (Flavver) I've since come across an alternate take of "Broken Hearts" with the Jobson/Bozzio/O'Hearn combo, circa 1976, from the non-album Laether. This would put the song first, since the Mudd Club started up in the late 70s (if my recollection as a native New Yorker is accurate).
