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 spelled that way, yeah
it´s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that
the folks line up
all down the street
and i´m seeing this girl
devour her meat, now
and then i get it, wham
as clear as day
my pulse begins to hammer
and i hear a voice say:
these boys have
got this down
oughtta be a 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
you don´t wait long
shake, fries
patty, you´re gone
and how about that
friendly name?
heck, every little thing
oughtta stay the same
or my name´s not kroc
that´s kroc with a ´k´
like ´crocodile´
but not spelled that way, now
it´s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that
you gentlemen
ought to expand
you´re going to 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
call me ray
like ´crocodile´
but not spelled that way, now
it´s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that
well we build it up
and i buy ´em out
but, man they made me
grind it out, now
they open up a new place
flipping 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
if they´re gonna drown
put a hose in their mouth
do not pass ´go´
go straight to hell
i smell that
meat hook smell
or my name´s not kroc
that´s kroc with a ´k´
like ´crocodile´
but not spelled that way, now
it´s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
