BOOM, LIKE THAT


I'm going to San Bernardino ring-a-ding-ding
milkshake mixers, that's my thing, now
these guys bought a heap of my stuff
and I gotta see a good thing sure enough, now
or my name's not Kroc, that's Kroc with a k
like crocodile but not spelt that way, now
it's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like that
folks line up all down the street
now I am seeing this girl devour her meat, now
and then they get it wham as clear as day
my pulse begins to hammer and I hear a voice say:
these boys who've got this down
ought to be one of these in every town
these boys have got the touch
it's clean as a whistle and it don't cost much
wham bam don't wait long
shake fries plenty are gone
and how about that friendly name, heck
every little thing ought to stay the same
or my name's not Kroc, that's Kroc with a k
like crocodile but not spelt that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
dog eat dog, rat eat rat
oh it's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like that
you gentlemen are to expand
you're gonna need a helping hand now
so gentlemen well what about me?
we'll make a little business history now
or my name's not Kroc, you can call me Ray
like crocodile but not spelt that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like that
well we build it up and I'll buy 'em out
but man they made me grind it out now
they open up a new place flippin meat
so I do too, right across the street
I got the name, I need the town
they sell up in the end and it all shuts down
sometimes you gotta be an S.O.B.
you wanna make a dream reality
competition? send 'em south,
they're gonna drown through the hose in their mouth
do not pass go, go straight to hell
I smell that ??? smell
or my name's not Kroc, that's Kroc with a k
like crocodile but not spelt that way now
oh it's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
dog eat dog, rat eat rat
oh it's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like that
