G
While travelling through the Lone Star State
C
I lost my lunch before I ate
D G
It happened in a bullet-head café
G
I felt my bones begin to crunch
C
I saw my name on a businessman's lunch
D G
And the 'neck who owned the place stepped up to say
[chorus]
C G
"Hey buddy, are you blind?
Am D D/C [D/B D/A bass run]
Say, partner, can't you read the signs?
G C G
We reserve the right to refuse service to you
G
Take your business back to Walgreen's
D
Have you tried your local zoo
G
You smell just like a communist
C G
You come through just like a Jew
G C D G
We reserve the right to refuse service ... to you"
Well I walked on in to my house of God
Congregation on the nod
Just the chosen folks doing their weekly thing
Hero Israel, yes indeed,
The book was backwards, couldn't read,
But I got a big rise when I heard that Rabbi sing
"[Something in Hebrew]
What the hell you doing back there boy?
We reserve the right to refuse services to you
Your friends are all on welfare
You call yourself a Jew?
You need your ticket and your tie
To zip your prayers on through
We reserve the right to refuse services ... unto you"
Live from Laos and Cambodia
No more tears, tonight they'll showed ya
The latest old war movies on TV
You know its bound to escalate
So go and turn on Channel 8
Watch Channel 7 mortar Channel 3
Well I won't man your tanks and jets and jeeps
And speaking on behalf of all my fellow creeps
"We reserve the right to refuse service to you
Right face, forward, and get the children too
Let Saigons be bygones, don't you blow this world in two
We reserve the right to refuse service ... to you"
Well just my luck that God's a Texan
One big sonofabitch and Anglo-Saxon
Some crazy kind of tall Norwegian [???]
Just have by body shipped air freight
From Texas to the Pearly Gates
Just ring the bell and leave me at the door
I'll be somewhere over Jordan, swinging low,
I'll hear them tape-recorded angels, in lifelike stereo
Singing "We reserve the right to refuse service to you
Take your business back to Walgreen's
Have you tried your local zoo?
Our quotas filled for this year, on singing Texas Jews,
We reserve the right to refuse service to you"
