The other night I was Walking down the street I was getting kinda hungry I decided to get me something to eat Now I pa**ed up all the chain Franchise joints on Hamburger row And stopped at a little greasy spoon place I always eat at called Eat, Sit and Gulp Get you one of the greasy hamburgers All peppered up, lay you up in the Hospital for about ten days So I ordered me up a Couple of those grease bombs Waitress brought 'em over Lifted up the bun, checked 'em out Damn, no ketchup So I nudged the guy sitting next to me At the counter, I said, hey, partner How about pa**ing the ketchup over Suddenly, this little bitty green hand Holding a ketchup bottle came into view And I freaked cause the guy sitting Next to me was a Martian Now in twenty-eight years of eating hamburgers I ain't never run into no Martian Not at 2:30 in the morning and certainly Not at a fine scarfing establishment like Eat Well, he was sitting over there with a Bunch of colored sticks on his plate
