I stopped into a restaurant and oh

it was a dream

From a half mile up the highway

you could see the fixtures gleam

They heated up the coffee cups

with extra pressure steam

But the food was terrible

The waitresses were charming

they had such lovely eyes

Their smiles all matched exactly

and their uniforms likewise

Their hair was piled as sweetly

as the topping on the pies

But the food was terrible

The décor was a symphony in orange

gold and white

The silver and the crockery

would fill you with delight

The menu was a masterpiece

so witty and so bright

But the food was terrible

They must have spent a fortune

on the furniture and such

On the place mats and the napkins

just like linen to the touch

So the budget for the kitchen

really wasn't very much

And the food was terrible

Another generation will forget the taste of meat

Of tomatoes from the garden

and of bread that's made of wheat

And they'll never even notice

when it's plastic that they eat

That the food is terrible
