Boom, Like That

Mark Knopfler

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

or 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

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

or 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 wanna 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
