Weird Al Yankovic - Trapped In The Drive-thru - Текст песни

Seven O'Clock in the evening

Watchin somethin' stupid on TV

I'm zoned out on the sofa

When my wife comes in the room and sees me


She says "Is this 'Behind the Music'

With Lynard Skynard?"

And I say "I don't know.

Say, it's gettin' late...watcha wanna do for dinner?


She says "I kinda had a big lunch.

So I'm not super hungry."

I said "Well you know, baby, I'm not starvin' either

But I could eat."


She said "So whadya have in mind?"

I said "I don't know what about you?"

She said "I don't care, if you're hungry, let's eat."

I said "That's what we're gonna do!"


"But first you gotta tell me

What it is you're hungry for!"

And she says "Let me think...

...What's left in our refridgerator?"


I said "Well, there's tuna, I know."

She said "That went bad a week ago!"

I said "Is the chili OK?"

She said "You finished that yesterday!"


I hopped up and I said

"I don't know, do you want to get something delivered?"

She's like "Why would I want to eat liver?

I don't even like liver!"


I'm like "No, I said 'delivered'."

She's like "I heard you say liver!"

I'm like "I should know what I said..."

She's like "Whatever, I just don't want any liver!"


Well I was gonna say something

But my cell phone started to ring

Now who could be callin' me?

Well I checked my caller ID


It was just cousin Larry

Callin' for the third time today...

My wife said "Let it go to voicemail."

I said, "OK."


"Where were we? Oh, Dinner, Right

So what d'ya want to do?"

She said "Why don't you whip up somethin in the kitchen?"

"Yeah," I said, "Why don't you?"


And then she said "Baby, can't we just go out to dinner, please?"

I says "No"

She says "Yes"

I says "No"

She says "Yes"

I says "No"

She says "Yes...

...Oh, here's your keys"


I step a little bit closer

Say "OK, where ya want to go?"

She says "How about The Ivy?"

I said "Yeah, well I don't know..."


I don't feel like gettin all dressed up

And eatin' expensive food

She's says "Olive Garden?"

I say "Nah, I'm not in the mood...


...And Burrito King would make me gassy

There's no doubt"

She says "Just forget about it"

I said "No, I swear I'm gonna take you out!"


Then I get an idea

I says "I know what we'll do!"

She says "What?"

I say "Guess"

She says "What?"

I say "We're goin' to the drive-thru!"


So we head out the front door

Open the garage door

Then I open the car doors

And we get in those car doors


Put my key in the ignition

And then I turn it sideways

Then we fasten our seat belts

As we pull out the driveway


Then we drive to the drive-thru

Heading off to the drive-thru

We're approaching the drive-thru

Getting close to the drive-thru!


Almost there at the drive-thru

Now we're here at the drive thru

Here in line at the drive-thru

Did I mention the drive-thru?


Well here we are

In the drive-thru line, me and her.

Cars in front of us, cars in back of us.

All just waiting to order


There's some idiot in a Volvo

With his brights on behind me

I lean out the window and scream

"Hey, Whatcha tryin to do, blind me?"


My wife says "Maybe we should park...

...We could just go eat inside."

I said "I'm wearin' bunny slippers

So I ain't leavin' this ride..."


Now a woman on a speaker box

Is sayin' "Can I take your order, please?"

I said "Yes indeed, you certainly can

We'd like two hamburgers with onions and cheese."


Then my wife says

"Baby, hold on, I've changed my mind!

I think I'm gonna have a chicken sandwich

Instead, this time"


I said "You always get a cheeseburger!"

She says "That's not what I'm hungry for."

I put my head in my hands and screamed,

"I don't know who you are anymore!"


The voice on the speaker says

"I don't have all day!"

I said "Then, take our order,

And we'll be on our way!


I wanna get a chicken sandwich

And I want a cheeseburger, too

She's like "You want onions on that?"

I'm like "Yeah, I already said that I do...


...Plus we need curly fries

And don't you dare forget it!

And two medium root beers

No, just one, we'll split it."


Then I said "I'm guessin' that

You're probably not too bright...

So read me back my order

Let's make sure you got it right."


She says "One, you want a chicken sandwich.

Two, you want a cheeseburger

Three, curly fries, and a large root beer"

"Stop, don't go no further!"


"I never ordered a large rootbeer

I said medium, not large!"

Then she says "We're havin' a special,

I supersized you at no charge."


"Oh." And that's all

I could say, was "Oh."

And she says "Now there is somethin' else

That I really think you should know.


You can have unlimited refills

For just a quarter more..."

I say "Great, except we're in the drive thru...

So what would I want that for?"


Then she says "Wait a minute

Your voice sounds so familiar...hey, is this Paul?

And my wife is all like "No, that ain't Paul,

Now tell me, who's this Paul?


She says "Oh, he's just some guy

Who goes to school with me.

I sat behind him last year

And I copied off him in Geometry.


I said "I know a guy named Paul.

He used to be my plumber

He was prematurely bald

And he moved to Pittsburgh last summer.


He also had bladder problems

And a really bad infection on his toe."

And she said "Mister, please, you can stop right there,

That's way more than I needed to know!"


And then we both were quiet

And things got real intense

Then she says "Next window please,

That'll be five dollars and eighty two cents."


So we inched ahead in line

Movin' painfully slow

I got a little bored

So I turned on the radio...


[Song plays]


[Click] Turned it off

Because my wife was getting a headache

So we both just sat there quietly

For her sake.


Then I looked at her

And she looked back at me

And I said "Um,

I think you have somethin' in your teeth."


She turned away from me

And then turned back and said "Did I get it?"

I said "Yeah. Well, I mean, most of it...

But hey, ya know, don't sweat it."


Then she said "How about now?"

I said "Yeah, almost.

There's still a little bit there

But don't worry, it's probably just a piece of toast."


Now we're at the pay window

Or whatever you call it

Put my hand in my pocket

I can't believe there's no wallet!


And the lady at the window's like,

"Well, well that'll be five eighty two."

I turn around to my wife, and say

"How much have you got on you?"


She just rolls her eyes and says

"I'll pay for this, I guess."

So she reaches into her purse

And pulls out the American Express


I hand it to the lady

And she says "Oh, dear.

It's gotta be cash only

We don't take credit cards here."


I took back the card and said

"Gee, really? Well that sucks."

And that's when I found out

My wife was only carryin' three bucks.


I said "I thought you were

Going to hit the ATM today"

She says "I never got around to it

So where's your wallet anyway?


And I said "Nevermind,

Just help me to find some change..."

Now the lady at the window

Is lookin at me kinda strange...


And she says "Mister, please,

We gotta move this line along"

I said "Now hold your stinkin' horses lady,

We won't be long."


We looked around inside the glove-box

And check the mat beneath my feet

I found a nickel in the ashtray

And a couple pennies and a dime in the space betweent he seats


Before long I had a little pile

Of coins of every sort

The lady counts it up and says

"You're still about a dollar short"


And now my woman's got this weird look

Frozen on her face

She screams, "you know

I wasn't even really hungry in the first place"


And so I turned around

To the cashier again

I shrugged and said "OK

Forget the chicken sandwich then"


So I pick up my change

Pick up my reciept

And I drive to the pickup window

Man, I just can't wait to eat


And now we see this acne ridden

Kid about sixteen

Wearin' a dorky nametag that says

"Hello, my name is Eugene."


And he hands me a paper bag

I look him in the eyes

And I say to him "Hey, Eugene,

Can I get some ketchup for my fries?"


Well he looks at me

And I look at him

And he looks at me

And I look at him


And he looks at me

And I look at him

And he says "I'm sorry

What did you want again?"


I say "Ketchup!"

And he says "Oh yeah, that's right...

...I just spaced out there for a second

I'm really kind of burnt tonight."


And then he hands me the ketchup

And now we're finally drivin' away

And the food is drivin' me mad

With its intoxicating bouquet


I'm starvin' to death

By the time we pull up at the traffic light

I say "Baby, gimme that burger,

I just gotta have a bite!"


So she reaches in the bag

And pulls out the burger

And she hands me the burger

And I pick up the burger


And then I unwrap the paper

I bite into those buns

And I just can't believe it

They forgot the onions!
