Side Of Fries Kate & Anna McGarrigle

I was walking down the street one day
And my mind was in a slide
When this well-dressed, all-dressed, hot dog said
"French fries on the side!"
He was golden brown and about six feet long
His bun was toasted fast
As he turned away, he did remark
"Frankfurts built to last!"
[Chorus]
Well my mama didn't tell me
And my papa didn't say
"This world's a busy place
And time just wastes away"
Brother didn't happen
And sister never stayed
Mama hardly opened
And papa never played
[Verse 2]
Once I came home with a brand new suit
And a charge account to boot
There was a Chevrolet
Sitting on the couch
With that Cadillac ready to toot
After drinks, and conversations too
About the meaning of inner need
Said "you're a man for real
Yes, it's a deal!"
Satisfaction's guaranteed
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
