Order Out

Hello there, heard your place was super neat,
It’s my birthday and I need a good treat,

Gotta few problems so gimme a little, break,
Your lingo’s got me, but an order I wanna make,

Gimme two Burritos , but hold every bean,
You say you don’t make’em, what the hell you mean,

Lady, I told you I had troubles, can’t keep’em down,
And beans give me that old quick run a round,

How about Taco’s maybe four ought to do it,
Hold up lady, let me again, go through it,

You don’t have burritos and now taco’s too,
Woman I don’t know what’s wrong with you,

Ok, Two, enchilada’s , how about those,
No I cain’t spell it, you’re new I suppose,

It should be on your menu, get the spelling from there,
No, No lady no, I don’t know where,

Honey come over here and talk to this girl,
I’m plumb wore out, you give it a whirl,

I reckon this is where it’s nice to have a wife,
She solved my problem with very little strife,

Said , Next time, will you let me order out please,
This place is not Mexican, it’s Chinese !!

Dum,Ta Dum, Dum!

Thought I knew where I was going with this one, only to be surprised at the end. A little mirth for these grim pandemic days.

Dumb is what dumb gets. You don't need to know the lingo to eat Chinese. They always translate. But I'll double that drumbeat at the end. It's always easy to laugh at a man's failures.

Hey, Tom! Still having old wifey-problems, I can see. Sounds a bit forced to me, though the usual flavour sizzles underneath.

I've been thinking: the best solution to the anthology would be to record the selections in country-fashion: you know, Two birds with One stone. A CD or Video with the lyrics in booklet form. You need to hawk them around to some recording-house. What d'ya think? Best to the Madame-Boss as well.
