 Boom, like that
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Or my name is not Kroc, it's Kroc with a K
Like crocodile but not spelt that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like that
[Verse 2]
Folks line up all down the street
Now I am 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
And how about that friendly name
Heck, every little thing gotta stay the same
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Or my name's not Kroc, call me Ray
Like crocodile, but not spelt that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like that

[Verse 4]
Well, we'll build it up and I'll buy them 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 main I need the town

They sell up in the end and it all shuts down
Sometimes you gotta be an S.O.B
If you wanna make a dream reality

Competition, sent '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
