Boom, Like That (Mark Knopfler) (5:49)

LYRICS

I'm going to San Bernardino ring-a-ding-ding
Milkshake mixers that's my thing, now
These guys bought a heap of my stuff
And I gotta see a good thing sure enough, now
Oh my name's not kroc that's kroc with a 'k'
Like 'crocodile' but not spelled that way, yeah
It's dog eat dog rat eat rat
Kroc-style boom, like that

The folks line up all down the street
And I'm seeing this girl devour her meat, now
And then I get it, wham as clear as day
My pulse begins to hammer and I hear a voice say

These boys have got this down
Oughtta be a one of these in every town
These boys have got the touch
It's clean as a whistle and it don't cost much
Wham, bam you don't wait long
Shake, fries patty, you're gone
And how about that friendly name?
Heck, every little thing oughtta stay the same
Or my name's not kroc that's kroc with a 'k'
Like 'crocodile' but not spelled that way, now
It's dog eat dog rat eat rat
dog eat dog rat eat rat now
Oh! it’s dog eat dog rat eat rat now
Kroc-style boom, like that


You gentlemen ought to expand
You're going to need a helping hand, now
So, gentlemen well, what about me?
We'll make a little business history, now
Oh! my name's not kroc call me Ray
Like 'crocodile' but not spelled that way, now
It's dog eat dog rat eat rat
Kroc-style boom, like that

Well we build it up and I buy 'em out
But, man they made me grind it out, now
They open up a new place flipping meat
So I do, too right across the street

I got the name I need the town
They sell up in the end and it all shuts down
Sometimes you gotta be an s.o.b.
You want to make a dream reality
Competition? send 'em south
If they're gonna drown
Put a hose in their mouth
Do not pass 'go' go straight to hell
I smell that meat hook smell

Or my name's not kroc that's kroc with a 'k'
Like 'crocodile' but not spelled that way, now
Oh! it's dog eat dog rat eat rat
dog eat dog rat eat rat now
Oh! it’s dog eat dog rat eat rat
Kroc-style boom, like that

I watched McImperium yesterday. Very interesting, I recommend.

I think Mark also watched this movie. This excerpt is in the movie and the song:

If they're gonna drown
Put a hose in their mouth

I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home
