Gourmet Restaurant
(专辑: Crackin' Up! - 1987)
Well I
went to the
Chez Paris The
food was good there I'd been told They said I
should try some of that there Vichyssoise But when they brought it, it was cold. I
said, "Don't you just have some tomater soup?" And he said, "The gazpacho is awfully nice" I
said, "Well bring me a
big bowl of that." And he did and dad blame if it wasn't cold as ice! [Chorus:] Oh you can have those high priced gourmet restaurants yeah the
waiters act snooty and walk kind of fruity and they won't bring you what you want! Well, I
like greens, and cornbread and beans, and a
big ol' glass of iced tea. I
tell ya friends, those gourmet restaurants ain't for me! Well a
few months later some friends insisted we try out the
Chateau Larieux. After waiting an hour and a
half we finally sat down, and heck, I
couldn't even read the
menu! So I
asked the
waiter, "How's the
beef?" He said "Ze steak tartar is ze best you ever had." But when he brought it, friends I
though I'd seen rare meat But this wasn't even hurt real bad! A
couple band-aids and that boy'd been back out there grazing! Well, I
just couldn't eat that steak tartar, I
was confused in every way. I
wasn't even too sure about the
soup du jour, I
hear they change that every day! And then the
waiter said, "Monsieur, I
have frogs legs that are guaranteed to please." I
said, "Well, hooray boy, hop on back there in the
kitchen and bring me a
grilled cheese!" [Chorus] Well they said I
ought to at least try out some of their wonderful desserts. I
hadn't been able to eat anything else, so I
figured, heck, what could it hurt. I
thought I'd like a
little ice cream, and the
waiter said if that was my desire "Ze Cherries Jubilee is magnifique." But when he brought it, heck, it was still on fire! And I
jumped up and throwed a
bowl of that cold potater soup on it before it could set off the
sprinkler system; probably saved 'em from a
major fire, but did they appreciate it? Nooo! Asked me not to never come back. No need to worry about that! [Chorus] They said the
food at that place was fit for a
king, and they were right...here King, here boy.. Heh heh, beef tournedos, now what's that? Steak that's been run over by an Oldsmobile? Now I
can understand chocolate eggs, and chocolate bunny rabbits, But a
chocolate moose? Ain't never gonna catch on...
