[00:21.91] Seven O'Clock in the evening
[00:23.45] Watchin somethin' stupid on TV
[00:25.09] I'm zoned out on the sofa
[00:27.38] When my wife comes in the room and sees me
[00:30.26]
[00:30.47] She says "Is this 'Behind the Music'
[00:33.55] With Lynard Skynard?"
[00:34.90] And I say "I don't know.
[00:36.49] Say, it's gettin' late...watcha wanna do for dinner?
[00:40.06]
[00:40.52] She says "I kinda had a big lunch.
[00:41.62] So I'm not super hungry."
[00:44.56] I said "Well you know, baby, I'm not starvin' either
[00:46.73] But I could eat."
[00:47.72]
[00:48.08] She said "So whadya have in mind?"
[00:49.85] I said "I don't know what about you?"
[00:52.19] She said "I don't care, if you're hungry, let's eat."
[00:54.89] I said "That's what we're gonna do!"
[00:56.36]
[00:56.75] "But first you gotta tell me
[00:58.41] What it is you're hungry for!"
[01:00.57] And she says "Let me think...
[01:02.89] ...What's left in our refridgerator?"
[01:04.93]
[01:05.80] I said "Well, there's tuna, I know."
[01:07.66] She said "That went bad a week ago!"
[01:09.94] I said "Is the chili OK?"
[01:12.04] She said "You finished that yesterday!"
[01:14.26]
[01:14.77] I hopped up and I said
[01:16.42] "I don't know, do you want to get something delivered?"
[01:18.73] She's like "Why would I want to eat liver?
[01:21.64] I don't even like liver!"
[01:23.53]
[01:23.86] I'm like "No, I said 'delivered'."
[01:26.23] She's like "I heard you say liver!"
[01:27.91] I'm like "I should know what I said..."
[01:29.89] She's like "Whatever, I just don't want any liver!"
[01:32.09]
[01:32.53] Well I was gonna say something
[01:34.39] But my cell phone started to ring
[01:36.61] Now who could be callin' me?
[01:38.60] Well I checked my caller ID
[01:40.73]
[01:41.15] It was just cousin Larry
[01:42.94] Callin' for the third time today...
[01:44.83] My wife said "Let it go to voicemail."
[01:47.92] I said, "OK."
[01:49.46]
[01:50.21] "Where were we? Oh, Dinner, Right
[01:52.27] So what d'ya want to do?"
[01:53.96] She said "Why don't you whip up somethin in the kitchen?"
[01:56.44] "Yeah," I said, "Why don't you?"
[01:58.54]
[01:59.03] And then she said "Baby, can't we just go out to dinner, please?"
[02:02.87] I says "No"
[02:03.71] She says "Yes"
[02:04.13] I says "No"
[02:04.60] She says "Yes"
[02:05.12] I says "No"
[02:05.62] She says "Yes...
[02:06.35] ...Oh, here's your keys"
[02:08.00]
[02:08.21] I step a little bit closer
[02:09.95] Say "OK, where ya want to go?"
[02:11.86] She says "How about The Ivy?"
[02:14.15] I said "Yeah, well I don't know..."
[02:16.25]
[02:16.70] I don't feel like gettin all dressed up
[02:19.19] And eatin' expensive food
[02:20.96] She's says "Olive Garden?"
[02:23.05] I say "Nah, I'm not in the mood...
[02:25.13]
[02:25.52] ...And Burrito King would make me gassy
[02:28.22] There's no doubt"
[02:29.57] She says "Just forget about it"
[02:31.81] I said "No, I swear I'm gonna take you out!"
[02:33.95]
[02:34.55] Then I get an idea
[02:36.65] I says "I know what we'll do!"
[02:38.75] She says "What?"
[02:39.50] I say "Guess"
[02:39.74] She says "What?"
[02:40.22] I say "We're goin' to the drive-thru!"
[02:42.98]
[02:43.49] So we head out the front door
[02:45.11] Open the garage door
[02:47.55] Then I open the car doors
[02:49.97] And we get in those car doors
[02:51.86]
[02:52.31] Put my key in the ignition
[02:53.99] And then I turn it sideways
[02:56.21] Then we fasten our seat belts
[02:58.40] As we pull out the driveway
[03:00.81]
[03:01.17] Then we drive to the drive-thru
[03:02.91] Heading off to the drive-thru
[03:05.13] We're approaching the drive-thru
[03:07.32] Getting close to the drive-thru!
[03:09.42]
[03:09.81] Almost there at the drive-thru
[03:11.70] Now we're here at the drive thru
[03:13.83] Here in line at the drive-thru
[03:16.08] Did I mention the drive-thru?
[03:18.39]
[03:27.67] Well here we are
[03:29.19] In the drive-thru line, me and her.
[03:31.71] Cars in front of us, cars in back of us.
[03:34.68] All just waiting to order
[03:36.04]
[03:36.45] There's some idiot in a Volvo
[03:38.19] With his brights on behind me
[03:40.39] I lean out the window and scream
[03:42.45] "Hey, Whatcha tryin to do, blind me?"
[03:45.16]
[03:45.54] My wife says "Maybe we should park...
[03:47.56] ...We could just go eat inside."
[03:49.66] I said "I'm wearin' bunny slippers
[03:51.91] So I ain't leavin' this ride..."
[03:54.13]
[03:54.39] Now a woman on a speaker box
[03:56.52] Is sayin' "Can I take your order, please?"
[03:58.59] I said "Yes indeed, you certainly can
[04:00.51] We'd like two hamburgers with onions and cheese."
[04:02.82]
[04:03.10] Then my wife says
[04:04.62] "Baby, hold on, I've changed my mind!
[04:07.26] I think I'm gonna have a chicken sandwich
[04:10.17] Instead, this time"
[04:11.47]
[04:12.09] I said "You always get a cheeseburger!"
[04:13.80] She says "That's not what I'm hungry for."
[04:16.11] I put my head in my hands and screamed,
[04:18.33] "I don't know who you are anymore!"
[04:20.65]
[04:21.12] The voice on the speaker says
[04:22.84] "I don't have all day!"
[04:25.12] I said "Then, take our order,
[04:26.94] And we'll be on our way!
[04:29.56]
[04:29.95] I wanna get a chicken sandwich
[04:31.99] And I want a cheeseburger, too
[04:34.09] She's like "You want onions on that?"
[04:36.22] I'm like "Yeah, I already said that I do...
[04:38.29]
[04:38.65] ...Plus we need curly fries
[04:40.62] And don't you dare forget it!
[04:43.14] And two medium root beers
[04:45.49] No, just one, we'll split it."
[04:47.65]
[04:48.00] Then I said "I'm guessin' that
[04:49.69] You're probably not too bright...
[04:52.03] So read me back my order
[04:54.16] Let's make sure you got it right."
[04:56.02]
[04:56.25] She says "One, you want a chicken sandwich.
[04:58.51] Two, you want a cheeseburger
[05:00.54] Three, curly fries, and a large root beer"
[05:03.72] "Stop, don't go no further!"
[05:05.20]
[05:05.49] "I never ordered a large rootbeer
[05:07.36] I said medium, not large!"
[05:09.16] Then she says "We're havin' a special,
[05:11.83] I supersized you at no charge."
[05:13.87]
[05:14.17] "Oh." And that's all
[05:16.91] I could say, was "Oh."
[05:18.11] And she says "Now there is somethin' else
[05:20.24] That I really think you should know.
[05:22.43]
[05:22.94] You can have unlimited refills
[05:24.86] For just a quarter more..."
[05:26.78] I say "Great, except we're in the drive thru...
[05:29.36] So what would I want that for?"
[05:31.19]
[05:31.61] Then she says "Wait a minute
[05:33.62] Your voice sounds so familiar...hey, is this Paul?
[05:36.77] And my wife is all like "No, that ain't Paul,
[05:39.41] Now tell me, who's this Paul?
[05:41.25]
[05:41.75] She says "Oh, he's just some guy
[05:43.58] Who goes to school with me.
[05:45.68] I sat behind him last year
[05:47.81] And I copied off him in Geometry.
[05:50.93] I said "I know a guy named Paul.
[05:52.59] He used to be my plumber
[05:54.72] He was prematurely bald
[05:56.94] And he moved to Pittsburgh last summer.
[05:59.07]
[05:59.22] He also had bladder problems
[06:01.35] And a really bad infection on his toe."
[06:03.24] And she said "Mister, please, you can stop right there,
[06:06.01] That's way more than I needed to know!"
[06:07.86]
[06:08.14] And then we both were quiet
[06:10.24] And things got real intense
[06:12.46] Then she says "Next window please,
[06:14.47] That'll be five dollars and eighty two cents."
[06:16.81]
[06:17.01] So we inched ahead in line
[06:19.00] Movin' painfully slow
[06:20.98] I got a little bored
[06:23.11] So I turned on the radio...
[06:24.91]
[06:25.34]
[06:37.91]
[06:41.79] Turned it off
[06:42.93] Because my wife was getting a headache
[06:45.42] So we both just sat there quietly
[06:49.39] For her sake.
[06:50.49]
[06:50.94] Then I looked at her
[06:52.15] And she looked back at me
[06:54.46] And I said "Um,
[06:56.46] I think you have somethin' in your teeth."
[06:58.86]
[06:59.44] She turned away from me
[07:01.11] And then turned back and said "Did I get it?"
[07:03.63] I said "Yeah. Well, I mean, most of it...
[07:06.87] But hey, ya know, don't sweat it."
[07:08.67]
[07:08.94] Then she said "How about now?"
[07:11.70] I said "Yeah, almost.
[07:13.00] There's still a little bit there
[07:15.18] But don't worry, it's probably just a piece of toast."
[07:17.31]
[07:17.53] Now we're at the pay window
[07:19.00] Or whatever you call it
[07:21.21] Put my hand in my pocket
[07:23.20] I can't believe there's no wallet!
[07:25.42]
[07:33.19] And the lady at the window's like,
[07:34.38] "Well, well that'll be five eighty two."
[07:38.53] I turn around to my wife, and say
[07:41.40] "How much have you got on you?"
[07:43.47]
[07:44.16] She just rolls her eyes and says
[07:45.87] "I'll pay for this, I guess."
[07:48.04] So she reaches into her purse
[07:49.98] And pulls out the American Express
[07:52.44]
[07:52.65] I hand it to the lady
[07:54.54] And she says "Oh, dear.
[07:56.64] It's gotta be cash only
[07:58.89] We don't take credit cards here."
[08:01.17]
[08:01.45] I took back the card and said
[08:03.42] "Gee, really? Well that sucks."
[08:05.47] And that's when I found out
[08:07.80] My wife was only carryin' three bucks.
[08:10.18]
[08:10.36] I said "I thought you were
[08:12.46] Going to hit the ATM today"
[08:15.19] She says "I never got around to it
[08:17.43] So where's your wallet anyway?
[08:18.94]
[08:19.48] And I said "Nevermind,
[08:20.92] Just help me to find some change..."
[08:23.20] Now the lady at the window
[08:25.17] Is lookin at me kinda strange...
[08:27.46]
[08:28.17] And she says "Mister, please,
[08:30.04] We gotta move this line along"
[08:32.32] I said "Now hold your stinkin' horses lady,
[08:35.53] We won't be long."
[08:36.85]
[08:37.12] We looked around inside the glove-box
[08:39.07] And check the mat beneath my feet
[08:41.53] I found a nickel in the ashtray
[08:43.24] And a couple pennies and a dime in the space betweent he seats
[08:45.52]
[08:45.82] Before long I had a little pile
[08:47.80] Of coins of every sort
[08:50.17] The lady counts it up and says
[08:52.30] "You're still about a dollar short"
[08:54.28]
[08:54.70] And now my woman's got this weird look
[08:56.92] Frozen on her face
[08:58.54] She screams, "you know
[09:00.34] I wasn't even really hungry in the first place"
[09:03.25]
[09:03.61] And so I turned around
[09:05.35] To the cashier again
[09:07.63] I shrugged and said "OK
[09:09.79] Forget the chicken sandwich then"
[09:12.05]
[09:12.38] So I pick up my change
[09:14.41] Pick up my reciept
[09:16.40] And I drive to the pickup window
[09:18.52] Man, I just can't wait to eat
[09:20.68]
[09:21.20] And now we see this acne ridden
[09:23.20] Kid about sixteen
[09:25.12] Wearin' a dorky nametag that says
[09:27.80] "Hello, my name is Eugene."
[09:29.72]
[09:30.07] And he hands me a paper bag
[09:32.23] I look him in the eyes
[09:34.36] And I say to him "Hey, Eugene,
[09:36.92] Can I get some ketchup for my fries?"
[09:38.77]
[09:38.95] Well he looks at me
[09:40.90] And I look at him
[09:43.34] And he looks at me
[09:45.25] And I look at him
[09:47.86]
[09:48.22] And he looks at me
[09:50.35] And I look at him
[09:52.43] And he says "I'm sorry
[09:54.13] What did you want again?"
[09:56.45]
[09:56.77] I say "Ketchup!"
[09:58.43] And he says "Oh yeah, that's right...
[10:01.13] ...I just spaced out there for a second
[10:03.26] I'm really kind of burnt tonight."
[10:05.27]
[10:05.66] And then he hands me the ketchup
[10:07.85] And now we're finally drivin' away
[10:10.32] And the food is drivin' me mad
[10:12.73] With its intoxicating bouquet
[10:14.98]
[10:15.70] I'm starvin' to death
[10:17.20] By the time we pull up at the traffic light
[10:19.21] I say "Baby, gimme that burger,
[10:22.07] I just gotta have a bite!"
[10:23.99]
[10:24.34] So she reaches in the bag
[10:26.20] And pulls out the burger
[10:28.49] And she hands me the burger
[10:30.35] And I pick up the burger
[10:32.33]
[10:32.63] And then I unwrap the paper
[10:35.30] I bite into those buns
[10:37.77] And I just can't believe it
[10:39.83] They forgot the onions!
[10:44.42]
[00:21.91] Seven O Clock in the evening
[00:23.45] Watchin somethin stupid on TV
[00:25.09] I m zoned out on the sofa
[00:27.38] When my wife comes in the room and sees me
[00:30.26]
[00:30.47] She says Is this Behind the Music
[00:33.55] With Lynard Skynard?
[00:34.90] And I say I don t know.
[00:36.49] Say, it s gettin late... watcha wanna do for dinner?
[00:40.06]
[00:40.52] She says I kinda had a big lunch.
[00:41.62] So I m not super hungry.
[00:44.56] I said Well you know, baby, I m not starvin either
[00:46.73] But I could eat.
[00:47.72]
[00:48.08] She said So whadya have in mind?

[00:52.19] She said I don t care, if you re hungry, let s eat.

[03:05.13] We re approaching the drivethru
[03:07.32] Getting close to the drivethru!
[03:09.42]
[03:09.81] Almost there at the drivethru
[03:11.70] Now we re here at the drive thru
[03:13.83] Here in line at the drivethru
[03:16.08] Did I mention the drivethru?
[03:18.39]
[03:27.67] Well here we are
[03:29.19] In the drivethru line, me and her.
[03:31.71] Cars in front of us, cars in back of us.
[03:34.68] All just waiting to order
[03:36.04]
[03:36.45] There s some idiot in a Volvo
[03:38.19] With his brights on behind me
[03:40.39] I lean out the window and scream
[03:42.45] Hey, Whatcha tryin to do, blind me?
[03:45.16]
[03:45.54] My wife says Maybe we should park...
[03:47.56] ... We could just go eat inside.
[03:49.66] I said I m wearin bunny slippers
[03:51.91] So I ain t leavin this ride...
[03:54.13]
[03:54.39] Now a woman on a speaker box
[03:56.52] Is sayin Can I take your order, please?
[03:58.59] I said Yes indeed, you certainly can
[04:00.51] We d like two hamburgers with onions and cheese.
[04:02.82]
[04:03.10] Then my wife says
[04:04.62] Baby, hold on, I ve changed my mind!
[04:07.26] I think I m gonna have a chicken sandwich
[04:10.17] Instead, this time
[04:11.47]
[04:12.09] I said You always get a cheeseburger!
[04:13.80] She says That s not what I m hungry for.
[04:16.11] I put my head in my hands and screamed,
[04:18.33] I don t know who you are anymore!
[04:20.65]
[04:21.12] The voice on the speaker says
[04:22.84] I don t have all day!
[04:25.12] I said Then, take our order,
[04:26.94] And we ll be on our way!
[04:29.56]
[04:29.95] I wanna get a chicken sandwich
[04:31.99] And I want a cheeseburger, too
[04:34.09] She s like You want onions on that?
[04:36.22] I m like Yeah, I already said that I do...
[04:38.29]
[04:38.65] ... Plus we need curly fries
[04:40.62] And don t you dare forget it!
[04:43.14] And two medium root beers
[04:45.49] No, just one, we ll split it.
[04:47.65]
[04:48.00] Then I said I m guessin that
[04:49.69] You re probably not too bright...
[04:52.03] So read me back my order
[04:54.16] Let s make sure you got it right.
[04:56.02]
[04:56.25] She says One, you want a chicken sandwich.
[04:58.51] Two, you want a cheeseburger
[05:00.54] Three, curly fries, and a large root beer
[05:03.72] Stop, don t go no further!
[05:05.20]
[05:05.49] I never ordered a large rootbeer
[05:07.36] I said medium, not large!
[05:09.16] Then she says We re havin a special,
[05:11.83] I supersized you at no charge.
[05:13.87]
[05:14.17] Oh. And that s all
[05:16.91] I could say, was Oh.
[05:18.11] And she says Now there is somethin else
[05:20.24] That I really think you should know.
[05:22.43]
[05:22.94] You can have unlimited refills
[05:24.86] For just a quarter more...
[05:26.78] I say Great, except we re in the drive thru...
[05:29.36] So what would I want that for?
[05:31.19]
[05:31.61] Then she says Wait a minute
[05:33.62] Your voice sounds so familiar... hey, is this Paul?
[05:36.77] And my wife is all like No, that ain t Paul,
[05:39.41] Now tell me, who s this Paul?
[05:41.25]
[05:41.75] She says Oh, he s just some guy
[05:43.58] Who goes to school with me.
[05:45.68] I sat behind him last year
[05:47.81] And I copied off him in Geometry.
[05:50.93] I said I know a guy named Paul.
[05:52.59] He used to be my plumber
[05:54.72] He was prematurely bald
[05:56.94] And he moved to Pittsburgh last summer.
[05:59.07]
[05:59.22] He also had bladder problems
[06:01.35] And a really bad infection on his toe.
[06:03.24] And she said Mister, please, you can stop right there,
[06:06.01] That s way more than I needed to know!
[06:07.86]
[06:08.14] And then we both were quiet
[06:10.24] And things got real intense
[06:12.46] Then she says Next window please,
[06:14.47] That ll be five dollars and eighty two cents.
[06:16.81]
[06:17.01] So we inched ahead in line
[06:19.00] Movin painfully slow
[06:20.98] I got a little bored
[06:23.11] So I turned on the radio...
[06:24.91]
[06:25.34]
[06:37.91]
[06:41.79] Turned it off
[06:42.93] Because my wife was getting a headache
[06:45.42] So we both just sat there quietly
[06:49.39] For her sake.
[06:50.49]
[06:50.94] Then I looked at her
[06:52.15] And she looked back at me
[06:54.46] And I said Um,
[06:56.46] I think you have somethin in your teeth.
[06:58.86]
[06:59.44] She turned away from me
[07:01.11] And then turned back and said Did I get it?
[07:03.63] I said Yeah. Well, I mean, most of it...
[07:06.87] But hey, ya know, don t sweat it.
[07:08.67]
[07:08.94] Then she said How about now?
[07:11.70] I said Yeah, almost.
[07:13.00] There s still a little bit there
[07:15.18] But don t worry, it s probably just a piece of toast.
[07:17.31]
[07:17.53] Now we re at the pay window
[07:19.00] Or whatever you call it
[07:21.21] Put my hand in my pocket
[07:23.20] I can t believe there s no wallet!
[07:25.42]
[07:33.19] And the lady at the window s like,
[07:34.38] Well, well that ll be five eighty two.
[07:38.53] I turn around to my wife, and say
[07:41.40] How much have you got on you?
[07:43.47]
[07:44.16] She just rolls her eyes and says
[07:45.87] I ll pay for this, I guess.
[07:48.04] So she reaches into her purse
[07:49.98] And pulls out the American Express
[07:52.44]
[07:52.65] I hand it to the lady
[07:54.54] And she says Oh, dear.
[07:56.64] It s gotta be cash only
[07:58.89] We don t take credit cards here.
[08:01.17]
[08:01.45] I took back the card and said
[08:03.42] Gee, really? Well that sucks.
[08:05.47] And that s when I found out
[08:07.80] My wife was only carryin three bucks.
[08:10.18]
[08:10.36] I said I thought you were
[08:12.46] Going to hit the ATM today
[08:15.19] She says I never got around to it
[08:17.43] So where s your wallet anyway?
[08:18.94]
[08:19.48] And I said Nevermind,
[08:20.92] Just help me to find some change...
[08:23.20] Now the lady at the window
[08:25.17] Is lookin at me kinda strange...
[08:27.46]
[08:28.17] And she says Mister, please,
[08:30.04] We gotta move this line along
[08:32.32] I said Now hold your stinkin horses lady,
[08:35.53] We won t be long.
[08:36.85]
[08:37.12] We looked around inside the glovebox
[08:39.07] And check the mat beneath my feet
[08:41.53] I found a nickel in the ashtray
[08:43.24] And a couple pennies and a dime in the space betweent he seats
[08:45.52]
[08:45.82] Before long I had a little pile
[08:47.80] Of coins of every sort
[08:50.17] The lady counts it up and says
[08:52.30] You re still about a dollar short
[08:54.28]
[08:54.70] And now my woman s got this weird look
[08:56.92] Frozen on her face
[08:58.54] She screams, you know
[09:00.34] I wasn t even really hungry in the first place
[09:03.25]
[09:03.61] And so I turned around
[09:05.35] To the cashier again
[09:07.63] I shrugged and said OK
[09:09.79] Forget the chicken sandwich then
[09:12.05]
[09:12.38] So I pick up my change
[09:14.41] Pick up my reciept
[09:16.40] And I drive to the pickup window
[09:18.52] Man, I just can t wait to eat
[09:20.68]
[09:21.20] And now we see this acne ridden
[09:23.20] Kid about sixteen
[09:25.12] Wearin a dorky nametag that says
[09:27.80] Hello, my name is Eugene.
[09:29.72]
[09:30.07] And he hands me a paper bag
[09:32.23] I look him in the eyes
[09:34.36] And I say to him Hey, Eugene,
[09:36.92] Can I get some ketchup for my fries?
[09:38.77]
[09:38.95] Well he looks at me
[09:40.90] And I look at him
[09:43.34] And he looks at me
[09:45.25] And I look at him
[09:47.86]
[09:48.22] And he looks at me
[09:50.35] And I look at him
[09:52.43] And he says I m sorry
[09:54.13] What did you want again?
[09:56.45]
[09:56.77] I say Ketchup!
[09:58.43] And he says Oh yeah, that s right...
[10:01.13] ... I just spaced out there for a second
[10:03.26] I m really kind of burnt tonight.
[10:05.27]
[10:05.66] And then he hands me the ketchup
[10:07.85] And now we re finally drivin away
[10:10.32] And the food is drivin me mad
[10:12.73] With its intoxicating bouquet
[10:14.98]
[10:15.70] I m starvin to death
[10:17.20] By the time we pull up at the traffic light
[10:19.21] I say Baby, gimme that burger,
[10:22.07] I just gotta have a bite!
[10:23.99]
[10:24.34] So she reaches in the bag
[10:26.20] And pulls out the burger
[10:28.49] And she hands me the burger
[10:30.35] And I pick up the burger
[10:32.33]
[10:32.63] And then I unwrap the paper
[10:35.30] I bite into those buns
[10:37.77] And I just can t believe it
[10:39.83] They forgot the onions!
[10:44.42]
[00:21.91] Seven O Clock in the evening
[00:23.45] Watchin somethin stupid on TV
[00:25.09] I m zoned out on the sofa
[00:27.38] When my wife comes in the room and sees me
[00:30.26]
[00:30.47] She says Is this Behind the Music
[00:33.55] With Lynard Skynard?
[00:34.90] And I say I don t know.
[00:36.49] Say, it s gettin late... watcha wanna do for dinner?
[00:40.06]
[00:40.52] She says I kinda had a big lunch.
[00:41.62] So I m not super hungry.
[00:44.56] I said Well you know, baby, I m not starvin either
[00:46.73] But I could eat.
[00:47.72]
[00:48.08] She said So whadya have in mind?
[00:49.85] I said I don t know what about you?
[00:52.19] She said I don t care, if you re hungry, let s eat.
[00:54.89] I said That s what we re gonna do!
[00:56.36]
[00:56.75] But first you gotta tell me
[00:58.41] What it is you re hungry for!
[01:00.57] And she says Let me think...
[01:02.89] ... What s left in our refridgerator?
[01:04.93]
[01:05.80] I said Well, there s tuna, I know.
[01:07.66] She said That went bad a week ago!
[01:09.94] I said Is the chili OK?
[01:12.04] She said You finished that yesterday!
[01:14.26]
[01:14.77] I hopped up and I said
[01:16.42] I don t know, do you want to get something delivered?
[01:18.73] She s like Why would I want to eat liver?
[01:21.64] I don t even like liver!
[01:23.53]
[01:23.86] I m like No, I said delivered.
[01:26.23] She s like I heard you say liver!
[01:27.91] I m like I should know what I said...
[01:29.89] She s like Whatever, I just don t want any liver!
[01:32.09]
[01:32.53] Well I was gonna say something
[01:34.39] But my cell phone started to ring
[01:36.61] Now who could be callin me?
[01:38.60] Well I checked my caller ID
[01:40.73]
[01:41.15] It was just cousin Larry
[01:42.94] Callin for the third time today...
[01:44.83] My wife said Let it go to voicemail.
[01:47.92] I said, OK.
[01:49.46]
[01:50.21] Where were we? Oh, Dinner, Right
[01:52.27] So what d ya want to do?
[01:53.96] She said Why don t you whip up somethin in the kitchen?
[01:56.44] Yeah, I said, Why don t you?
[01:58.54]
[01:59.03] And then she said Baby, can t we just go out to dinner, please?
[02:02.87] I says No
[02:03.71] She says Yes
[02:04.13] I says No
[02:04.60] She says Yes
[02:05.12] I says No
[02:05.62] She says Yes...
[02:06.35] ... Oh, here s your keys
[02:08.00]
[02:08.21] I step a little bit closer
[02:09.95] Say OK, where ya want to go?
[02:11.86] She says How about The Ivy?
[02:14.15] I said Yeah, well I don t know...
[02:16.25]
[02:16.70] I don t feel like gettin all dressed up
[02:19.19] And eatin expensive food
[02:20.96] She s says Olive Garden?
[02:23.05] I say Nah, I m not in the mood...
[02:25.13]
[02:25.52] ... And Burrito King would make me gassy
[02:28.22] There s no doubt
[02:29.57] She says Just forget about it
[02:31.81] I said No, I swear I m gonna take you out!
[02:33.95]
[02:34.55] Then I get an idea
[02:36.65] I says I know what we ll do!
[02:38.75] She says What?
[02:39.50] I say Guess
[02:39.74] She says What?
[02:40.22] I say We re goin to the drivethru!
[02:42.98]
[02:43.49] So we head out the front door
[02:45.11] Open the garage door
[02:47.55] Then I open the car doors
[02:49.97] And we get in those car doors
[02:51.86]
[02:52.31] Put my key in the ignition
[02:53.99] And then I turn it sideways
[02:56.21] Then we fasten our seat belts
[02:58.40] As we pull out the driveway
[03:00.81]
[03:01.17] Then we drive to the drivethru
[03:02.91] Heading off to the drivethru
[03:05.13] We re approaching the drivethru
[03:07.32] Getting close to the drivethru!
[03:09.42]
[03:09.81] Almost there at the drivethru

[06:56.46] I think you have somethin in your teeth.
[06:58.86]
[06:59.44] She turned away from me
[07:01.11] And then turned back and said Did I get it?
[07:03.63] I said Yeah. Well, I mean, most of it...
[07:06.87] But hey, ya know, don t sweat it.
[07:08.67]
[07:08.94] Then she said How about now?
[07:11.70] I said Yeah, almost.
[07:13.00] There s still a little bit there
[07:15.18] But don t worry, it s probably just a piece of toast.
[07:17.31]
[07:17.53] Now we re at the pay window
[07:19.00] Or whatever you call it
[07:21.21] Put my hand in my pocket
[07:23.20] I can t believe there s no wallet!
[07:25.42]
[07:33.19] And the lady at the window s like,
[07:34.38] Well, well that ll be five eighty two.
[07:38.53] I turn around to my wife, and say
[07:41.40] How much have you got on you?
[07:43.47]
[07:44.16] She just rolls her eyes and says
[07:45.87] I ll pay for this, I guess.
[07:48.04] So she reaches into her purse
[07:49.98] And pulls out the American Express
[07:52.44]
[07:52.65] I hand it to the lady
[07:54.54] And she says Oh, dear.
[07:56.64] It s gotta be cash only
[07:58.89] We don t take credit cards here.
[08:01.17]
[08:01.45] I took back the card and said
[08:03.42] Gee, really? Well that sucks.
[08:05.47] And that s when I found out
[08:07.80] My wife was only carryin three bucks.
[08:10.18]
[08:10.36] I said I thought you were
[08:12.46] Going to hit the ATM today
[08:15.19] She says I never got around to it
[08:17.43] So where s your wallet anyway?
[08:18.94]
[08:19.48] And I said Nevermind,
[08:20.92] Just help me to find some change...
[08:23.20] Now the lady at the window
[08:25.17] Is lookin at me kinda strange...
[08:27.46]
[08:28.17] And she says Mister, please,
[08:30.04] We gotta move this line along
[08:32.32] I said Now hold your stinkin horses lady,
[08:35.53] We won t be long.
[08:36.85]
[08:37.12] We looked around inside the glovebox
[08:39.07] And check the mat beneath my feet
[08:41.53] I found a nickel in the ashtray
[08:43.24] And a couple pennies and a dime in the space betweent he seats
[08:45.52]
[08:45.82] Before long I had a little pile
[08:47.80] Of coins of every sort
[08:50.17] The lady counts it up and says
[08:52.30] You re still about a dollar short
[08:54.28]
[08:54.70] And now my woman s got this weird look
[08:56.92] Frozen on her face
[08:58.54] She screams, you know
[09:00.34] I wasn t even really hungry in the first place
[09:03.25]
[09:03.61] And so I turned around
[09:05.35] To the cashier again
[09:07.63] I shrugged and said OK
[09:09.79] Forget the chicken sandwich then
[09:12.05]
[09:12.38] So I pick up my change
[09:14.41] Pick up my reciept
[09:16.40] And I drive to the pickup window
[09:18.52] Man, I just can t wait to eat
[09:20.68]
[09:21.20] And now we see this acne ridden
[09:23.20] Kid about sixteen
[09:25.12] Wearin a dorky nametag that says
[09:27.80] Hello, my name is Eugene.
[09:29.72]
[09:30.07] And he hands me a paper bag
[09:32.23] I look him in the eyes
[09:34.36] And I say to him Hey, Eugene,
[09:36.92] Can I get some ketchup for my fries?
[09:38.77]
[09:38.95] Well he looks at me
[09:40.90] And I look at him
[09:43.34] And he looks at me
[09:45.25] And I look at him
[09:47.86]
[09:48.22] And he looks at me
[09:50.35] And I look at him
[09:52.43] And he says I m sorry
[09:54.13] What did you want again?
[09:56.45]
[09:56.77] I say Ketchup!
[09:58.43] And he says Oh yeah, that s right...
[10:01.13] ... I just spaced out there for a second
[10:03.26] I m really kind of burnt tonight.
[10:05.27]
[10:05.66] And then he hands me the ketchup
[10:07.85] And now we re finally drivin away
[10:10.32] And the food is drivin me mad
[10:12.73] With its intoxicating bouquet
[10:14.98]
[10:15.70] I m starvin to death
[10:17.20] By the time we pull up at the traffic light
[10:19.21] I say Baby, gimme that burger,
[10:22.07] I just gotta have a bite!
[10:23.99]
[10:24.34] So she reaches in the bag
[10:26.20] And pulls out the burger
[10:28.49] And she hands me the burger
[10:30.35] And I pick up the burger
[10:32.33]
[10:32.63] And then I unwrap the paper
[10:35.30] I bite into those buns
[10:37.77] And I just can t believe it
[10:39.83] They forgot the onions!
[10:44.42]
