Boom Like That Lyrics

Artist: Mark Knopfler
Album: Shangri-La

iâ‚¬â„¢m going to san bernardino
ring-a-ding-ding
milkshake mixers
thatâ‚¬â„¢s my thing, now
these guys bought
a heap of my stuff
and i gotta see a good thing
sure enough, now
or my nameâ‚¬â„¢s not kroc
thatâ‚¬â„¢s kroc with a â‚¬Ëœkâ‚¬â„¢
like â‚¬Ëœcrocodileâ‚¬â„¢
but not spelled that way, yeah
itâ‚¬â„¢s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that

the folks line up
all down the street
and iâ‚¬â„¢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
itâ‚¬â„¢s clean as a whistle
and it donâ‚¬â„¢t cost much
wham, bam
you donâ‚¬â„¢t wait long
shake, fries
patty, youâ‚¬â„¢re gone
and how about that
friendly name?
heck, every little thing
oughtta stay the same
or my nameâ‚¬â„¢s not kroc
thatâ‚¬â„¢s kroc with a â‚¬Ëœkâ‚¬â„¢
like â‚¬Ëœcrocodileâ‚¬â„¢
but not spelled that way, now
itâ‚¬â„¢s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that

you gentlemen
ought to expand
youâ‚¬â„¢re going to need
a helping hand, now
so, gentlemen
well, what about me?
weâ‚¬â„¢ll make a little
business history, now
or my nameâ‚¬â„¢s not kroc
call me ray
like â‚¬Ëœcrocodileâ‚¬â„¢
but not spelled that way, now
itâ‚¬â„¢s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that

well we build it up
and i buy â‚¬Ëœem 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 â‚¬Ëœem south
if theyâ‚¬â„¢re gonna drown
put a hose in their mouth
do not pass â‚¬Ëœgoâ‚¬â„¢
go straight to hell
i smell that
meat hook smell
or my nameâ‚¬â„¢s not kroc
thatâ‚¬â„¢s kroc with a â‚¬Ëœkâ‚¬â„¢
like â‚¬Ëœcrocodileâ‚¬â„¢
but not spelled that way, now
itâ‚¬â„¢s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that
