Eat At Joe's
Eat At Joe’s
Pop owns the Greasy Spoon Cafe
It’s just around the corner
Just down the road
He’s 95 and still alive
From eating at Joe’s
You know, his brother Joe, his twin and 95 also
His joint is right around the other corner
Just down the road
I guess I gotta warn ya
Joe’s got hot dogs too
But they’re not blue like Greasy Spoons
Ready to walk out the door on their own
Like some strange life forms
There are some questions about rubber bands that persist
Found in soups at Pops
One day I discovered a tooth in one of his fine dishes
It was still delicious and the tooth belonged to Pop
He said, “No extra charge”….. “Keep the fossil”
There are no menus at Greasy Spoon
All plates are made from memory
Something Pop lost long ago
We all love Pop lots and lots but true is true
So my advice to you
Is Eat At Joe’s (You know... the other twin brother's place)
It’s just around the corner from the other corner
Just down the road
Please… Eat At Joe’s for your own safety sake
Tell um I sent ya because I know what I knows.
