Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Side Of Fries [Intro] Bm G Bm G [Verse 1]
I wasD walking down the street one day And my mind was in a slide DWhen this well-dressed, all-dressed, hot dog said
“French fries on the side”
He was Egolden brown and about six feet long His bun was toasted fast As Ghe turned away, he did remark “A7Frankfurts built to last”
[Chorus]
Well, my Dmomma didn’t tell me And my A7poppa didn’t Dsay This A7world’s a busy place And time just wastes aDway FBrother didn’t happen And Csister never stayed A7Momma hardly opened And GPoppa never A7played D A7 D
[Verse 2] Once I came home with a brand new suit And a charge account to boot
DThere was a Chevrolet sitting on the couch With a Cadillac ready to toot EAfter drinks and conversation too
‘Bout the meaning of inner need
GSaid, you’re a man for real, Yes, it’s a deal SatisA7faction’s guaranteed
[Chorus]
Well, my Dmomma didn’t tell me And my A7poppa didn’t Dsay This A7world’s a busy place And time just wastes aDway FBrother didn’t happen And Csister never stayed A7Momma hardly opened And GPoppa never A7played
[Instrumental] D A7 D E G A7 [Chorus]
Well, my Dmomma didn’t tell me And my A7poppa didn’t Dsay This A7world’s a busy place And time just wastes aDway FBrother didn’t happen And Csister never stayed A7Momma hardly opened And GPoppa never A7played D A7 D
[Verse 3] I was lying on my desk at ease Cancelling the afternoon
DWhen the door swung open to a fruit of the loom Screaming, “Smoke me to the moon” EHe was a xenophobe with a .38
Besides a ruptured spleen
GBut I kept my cool, as he slowly drooled Only A7Brand X cleans to clean
[Chorus]
Well, my Dmomma didn’t tell me And my A7poppa didn’t Dsay This A7world’s a busy place And time just wastes aDway FBrother didn’t happen And Csister never stayed A7Momma hardly opened And GPappa never A7played D A7 D
