Hamburgers
"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!"
That's what Wimpy used to say...

Driving along Onion Avenue
The munchies were turning my stomach blue
Fast food galore
There must have been fifty or more
And all with a small window drive-thru

Plastic signs with names so bold
Keeping score of the amount that they'd sold
All the goodbyes
Those burgers and fries
Shakes and soft drinks ice-cold

A single, a double
Or should I get cheese?
Give me a burger with lots of grease!
While making my choice
From this box came a voice
"Can I take your order, please?"

Burgers by the light of the salad bar
Chocolate chip cookies they keep in a cookie jar
There's piping hot coffee free down at the diner
Giving my stomach a brand new liner

Wendy's, Crystal, Burger King I see
Do any of you have a hot one for me?
Oh, Sandal's, oh, JoJo's, oh, Ronnie's Big Mac
All of them just another hamburger shack

The fast food joints are helter-skelter
Each one of them just another french fry shelter
I tried a Big Boy
But just another decoy
Fast food needs
Some hamburger helper!
