[G] [D] [C]
[D] [G]
Well, I went to the Chez Paris.
The food [D] was good there, I'd [G] been told.
They said I should try some of that there vichyssoise, [D] but when they brought it, it
[G] was cold.
I [C] said, don't you just happen to made her soup?
He [G] said, the gazpacho is awfully
nice.
I said, well, bring me a big bowl of that.
He did, and [D] that plain fit wasn't [G] cold
as I.
[C] Oh, you can have [D] those high price [G] gourmet restaurants.
[Em] Yeah, the waiters act snooty
and they walk kind of fruity [A] and they won't bring you [D] what you want.
[G] Now, I like greens
and cornbread and beans [C] and a big old glass of [C#m] iced tea.
I [G] tell you, friends, them [D] gourmet
restaurants [G] ain't for me.
[D]
[G] Well, a few months later, some friends insisted [D] we try out the
[G] Chateau de Rue.
After waiting an hour and a half, we [C] finally sat [D] down.
Heck, I couldn't
even read [G] the menu.
So [C] I asked the waiter, how's the beef?
He said, the [G] steak tartare
is the best you ever had.
So when he brought it, friends, I thought I'd seen [D] rare meat,
but this wasn't even [G] hurt real bad.
A couple of band-aids and that boy had been back out
there grazing.
[E]
[A] Well, just couldn't eat that steak tartare.
[E] I was confused in [A] every way.
I wasn't even too sure about the soup du jour.
I [E] hear they change that every [A] day.
And [D] then
the waiter said, monsieur, I have frog's [A] legs that are guaranteed to bleed.
I said, well,
hooray, boy, hop on back there in [E] the kitchen and bring me [A] a grilled cheese.
[D] Yeah, you can
have [E] those high price gourmet [A] restaurants.
[F#m] The waiters act snooty and they walk kind
of fruity [B] and they won't bring you what [E] you want.
[A] And I like greens and cornbread and
peas [D] and a big old glass of [D#] ice tea.
I [E] tell you, friends, them gourmet restaurants ain't
[A] for me.
[D] Well, they said I ought to at least try out [A] some of their wonderful dessert.
[E] I
hadn't been able to eat anything else, though I figured, [A] heck, what could it hurt?
I [D] thought
I'd like a little ice cream.
The waiter said, [A] well, if that was my desire, the [B] chewy jibbly
is magnifique.
But [E] when he brought it, heck, it's still on fire.
I jumped up and loaded
a big bowl of that cold potato soup on it before it set off the sprinkler system.
Probably
save him from a major fall.
But did they appreciate it?
Asked me not to never come back.
[A] No need
to worry about that.
[D] You can have [E] those high price gourmet [A] restaurants.
[F#m] Yeah, the waiters
act snooty and they walk kind of fruity and [B] they won't bring you what [E] you want.
[A] I like
greens and cornbread and peas [D] and a big old glass of [D#] ice tea.
I [E] tell you, friends, them
gourmet restaurants ain't [A] for me.
They said the food at that place was fit for a king.
They were right.
Here, king.
Here, boy.
Beef torrinatoes.
Now, what's that?
A steak that's
been run over by an Oldsmobile?
Now, I can understand chocolate eggs and chocolate bunny
rabbits, but a chocolate moose ain't never going to catch on.
