Family Restaurant Lyrics by Uncle Bonsai

MYN YND WYMYN

0

For a pork chop and a malt
For a cheese dog and a can of orange crush
For a host of smiling faces
For a smoking swollen waitress you can trust
Where kids burp out their orders
And they armpit-fart for quarters
And parents curse them underneath their breaths
A place where corn fed cattle meet their deaths
Where you take what you can get
Where you close your eyes, you pinch your nose and pray
Where the meat on plastic dishes
Looks as sav'ry and nutritious as the tray
A time for I-lovе-you-ing
And give thanks for what you're chewing
Wе never place an order for ourselves
The waitress serves up something for our health
At the restaurant, The Family Restaurant
Home is never really very far
You find yourself among the salad bar
At the restaurant, The Family Restaurant
A chance to understand your history
Where Beef is King, Mom's Queen, And Kids Go Free
While the muzak sets the mood
Mother sings along with Mitch or Mancini
While the waitress draws on eyebrows
In the places where she thinks they used to be
Where the subtlety's not tasted
And a lot of words are wasted
And the waitress let her hairdo go to far
While the dog is quickly cooking in the car
At the restaurant, The Family Restaurant
People say exactly what they mean
Living in a sunset magazine
At the restaurant, the Family Restaurant
A place that uses Mother's recipe
Where Beef is King, Mom's Queen, And Kids Go Free
Velveta
It's on everything that you can buy
It's Velveta
It's the spam of the cheeses, It's sure to appease
It's Velveta
Just the name brings the tears to my eyes
It's Velveta
It's like cheese with a perfect disguise
For a cobbler and a tart
For a sherbet that the waitress recommends
For a Shirley-temple toast
To the chefs we like to think of as our friends
Filled with nausea and the knowledge
That there's money left for college
For the price what more could any family want
We'll be faithful to our family restaurant
At the restaurant, The Family Restaurant
A place to find out what your family thinks
Among the pork and beans and wienie winks
At the restaurant, the Family Restaurant
A place to learn about your history
Where Beef is King, Mom's Queen, And Kids Go Free
