Barangrill Lyrics

[00:07.99] Three waitresses all wearing
[00:10.09] Black diamond earrings
[00:11.99] Talking about zombies
[00:13.86] And Singapore slings
[00:18.96] No trouble in their faces
[00:21.23] Not one anxious voice
[00:23.64] None of the crazy you get
[00:25.64] From too much choice
[00:30.42] The thumb and the satchel
[00:32.48] Or the rented Rolls-Royce
[00:37.29] And you think she knows something
[00:39.40] By the second refill
[00:41.34] You think she's enlightened
[00:43.40] As she totals your bill
[00:45.37] You say "Show me the way
[00:49.46] To Barangrill"
[00:59.67] Well some say it's in service
[01:01.47] They say "Humble Makes Pure"
[01:03.33] You're hoping it's near Folly
[01:04.80] 'Cause you're headed that way for sure
[01:09.43] And you just have to laugh
[01:11.70] 'Cause it's all so crazy
[01:14.72] Ah, her mind's on her boyfriend
[01:16.43] And eggs over easy
[01:20.94] It's just a trick on you
[01:23.14] Her mirrors and your will
[01:25.21] So you ask the truck driver
[01:27.16] On the way to the till
[01:29.28] But he's just a slave
[01:33.26] To Barangrill
[01:42.59] The guy at the gaspumps
[01:44.77] He's got a lot of soul
[01:46.65] He sings Merry Christmas for you
[01:48.78] Just like Nat King Cole
[01:53.64] And he makes up his own tune
[01:56.02] Right on the spot
[01:57.62] About whitewalls and windshields
[01:59.88] And this job he's got
[02:04.57] And you want to get moving
[02:06.84] And you want to stay still
[02:08.86] But lost in the moment
[02:10.96] Some longing gets filled
[02:12.64] And you even forget to ask
[02:18.50] "Hey, Where's Barangrill?"
[02:24.37]
