The Animals At Jason’s Bar & Grill
A walk in the street looks like it’s time to eat
I hit for Jason’s Grill
When I get there I order burgers a pair
A side of stacks and slaw, please (Jason)
Please sir, don’t sit there
That seat is saved for a girl with short hair
Thank you
Quite suddenly, the patrons cease to eat
Eighty eyes all fixed on the doors
When what to their wondering eyes should appear
But a moose, a dog, a mouse, and a deer
Dear me, will they come in
Television reports say “He’s coming in”
Jason’s Girl has never witnessed
Discrimination based on race or on creed
This must be a test case coming
Confrontation coming, people will bleed
Frizzy gulp your chowder fast
Finish up your hash
Jason bring my check right now
No, I don’t want coffee, thanks!
The animal spokesman, he started to speak
The room it was all hushed
You could hear a meatball fall
As the moose stalked slowly to Jason
Moose reached into his mane
Buddy, can you give me a quarter’s change
