Lyrics for Album: Private Investigations: Best Of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler [2010]
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 is not Croc, it'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!
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 then I hear a voice say
These boys have got this down
Ought to be 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 don't wait long
Shake, fries, patty, you're gone
How about that friendly name, heck
every little thing gotta stay the same
Or my name is not Croc, 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
Kroc style - Boom, like that!
You gentlemen ought to expand
You're gonna need a helping hand now
So gentlemen well what about me?
We'll make a little business history now
Or my name's not Croc, you can 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'll build it up and I'll buy him out
But, man they made me grind it out now
They open up a new place flippin' meat
So I do too, right across the street
I got the name, I need the town
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 is not Croc, that's Kroc with a K
Like crocodile but not spelt 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!
