[Verse 1: Sturgill Simpson] Well you want some good food when your night out ends The big yellow sign is your new best friend They got waffles and bacon and coffee too But an all-star breakfast comes with some rules [Verse 2: Stephen Colbert] Cause this ain't no waffle zoo, it ain't no waffle barn It's a place of waffle business run with style and charm Save that 'rowdy bizz' for the other waffle shops Follow the rules or someone's calling the cops [Chorus 1: Stephen & Sturgill] Don't say no swears or write on the wall You can have your fun son, but don't have a brawl No spitting, no yelling, no slip n' slide And if you're gonna get sick, better head outside Don't sleep in the booth, save it for your bed No shirt, no shoes, no knuckleheads [Verse 3: Sturgill Simpson] You're k**ing your hangover, but you're k**ing my mood
All these nice, upstanding families just came for some food If you're gonna cause a ruckus, then I must object These are some world famous waffles son, show some respect [Verse 4: Stephen Colbert] Cause this ain't no waffle circus or a waffle asylum You got problems with that, you better reconcile 'em If you want to be a drunken mess, you better do it at brunch Cause this house has rules, and there's a bunch [Chorus 2: Stephen & Sturgill] No drinkin', no druggin', don't show your behind Don't build no evil robots for enslavin' mankind No skeletons or zombies, because we don't serve the dead No shirt, no shoes, no knuckleheads You want 'em scattered, smothered, covered, listen what I said No shirt, no shoes, no knuckleheads [Outro: Stephen Colbert] Waffle House, Waffle House Do the right thing
