Alex Harvey - Give My Compliments To The Chef lyrics

Mother dear, did you hear? Oh, they're teaching me to do the goose step? Father mine, just in time, you give me a machine to wash my jeans in The customer is always right, the girl is much too young to know the difference The guitar hanging in the hall is calling me in all its magnificence Give my compliments to the chef Give my compliments to the chef Leo sits behind the desk, he wanna see the women cooking gravy Nobody sent no argument and I gotta go and join the Royal Navy Mademoiselle you do so well, you know the meaning of salvation But the General wants me on the phone and he's all alone and needs my consolation Give my compliments to the chef Give my compliments to the chef He's crazy, got his head in a basket She lazy, you don't understand You know I'm running, you don't wanna hide me I know a woman who's a man is a man One night I was dreaming, I lay on my pillow The train I was riding was ten coaches long And in the village they was looking at freedom In the beginning when I knew any old time Any old time Any old time Any old time Bad boys don't get no toys and everybody wants to get to heaven The Salvation Army's asking and nobody ever thinks of giving You know that major sevenths break my bones I gotta go out and beg and borrow You know I wish I could see yesterday The way I can see tomorrow Go and take a look in a history book Oh, it's up to you to mix the stew And when you do Give my compliments to the chef The chef Any old time Any old time Any old time Any old time Any old time Any old time Any old time Any old time Any old time I want to give my compliments...
