Food Court

 

Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

 

A relyric of the song "Time Bomb" by Lake, a British rock band.

 

Please read along to my Spoken Verse Performance.

 

 

VERSE 1

 

I find,

 

That I'm hanging at the food court,

 

Lately.

 

Could be something in the food.

 

Get my grub on at the food court,

 

Greatly.

 

Gotta know it's true authentic Asian chow.

 

And the Sbarro Pizza always earns a "Wow".

 

 

VERSE 2

 

And now,

 

Find my girlfriends at the food court,

 

At night.

 

They're like angels, young and pure.

 

Get my girlfriends at the food court,

 

That's right.

 

Choose to spend my week-ends cruisin' East end malls.

 

Other guys there don't have hairy balls.

 

 

CHORUS

 

Food court, food court,

 

Where the girls are sweet,

 

Food court, food court,

 

That's the place to meet,

 

Food court, food court,

 

When you can't compete.

 

 

BRIDGE 1

 

Your mom said it's all right.

 

To spend some time with me to-night.

 

We must,

 

Obey the rules she made:

 

Just playing games at thE arcade.

 

So trust,

 

In me, I'm twice your age,

 

Advanced degree, a Shakespeare sage.

 

Now fast,

 

Mom's gone, let us engage.

 

There'll be no tears,

 

So try it.

 

But in twenty years,

 

Will you keep quiet?            [Note: This line added for effect.]

 

 

BRIDGE 2

 

Better move right now or miss out on this chance.

 

If not here then,

 

At the dance,

 

Recital.

 

 

CHORUS

 

Food court, food court,

 

Where the girls are sweet,

 

Food court, food court,

 

That's the place to meet,

 

Food court, food court,

 

When you can't compete.

 

 

OUTRO

 

Tonight,

 

Get a girlfriend at the food court,

 

Oh yeah.

 

Where they're all so young and pure.

 

Get your girlfriends at the food court,

 

That's right.

 

Food court.

 

The End
