Food For Thought - With Chris Green

Lyrics start 0.05 - timed to the music Pack your bags dear, there’s a Croc near And he’s creeping, through the night With his eye on - on our old stead dear And it appears - we’re within his sight You know when that Croc smiles - shows his teeth dear Concrete jungles start to spread Whips the grass from right under their feet dear Scams now filling, each word he’s said What no scruples you ask, well he ain’t got’em you should know Seeks locations both, far and wide Look he’s sneaking - sneaking down the alley Is there no - place - left to hide Another Archway, off the highway down the road Golden handshakes, don’t go the mile Men in black suits they make it all happen dear Sanguine red soon, turns into bile With our kids dear – it’s the buzz 'we gotta go' Family meeting place, just come on down Try these milk shakes - they're just like the real thing And these burgers, the best in town Bet you a fiver - oh that bun is barely fresh Kids now falling sick - while their doctors frown Green backs talking – they don’t give a nickel Have our bags packed ‘Cause the Croc is Look out Sneaky Croc is Sneaky Croc’s back Back in town EPILOGUE Oh these outlets they keep spreading far and wide In a hurry, they just can’t wait Food so tasty, don’t you wonder ‘bout it all No time to ponder it’ll make you late Good old family name – so familiar dear Look out folks for, deceit and lies Another archway - around the corner Now that Croc is stopping by Look out OLD Croc is back Footnote: On our recent visit to Japan I noticed the proliferation of Fast Food outlets. It is such a pity to see a country that was once so fastidious with their traditionally healthy diets and that of their kids, changing their lifestyle and falling prey to corporate fast food giants. Even the kids are now embracing this way of life. It’s sad to see traditional food outlets also losing their livelihood as the trend takes over. Acknowledgement: My deepest appreciation to Chris Green on agreeing to spare some of his wonderful talent and collaborating with me to bring you this arrangement. Thank you so much Chris.
