Baltimore Colts Gino Marchetti started the show.
He opened a chain of restaurants everybody would know.
I remember your slogan from a few decades ago.
It said that your eateries were “the place to go”.
Buildings with a pointed red roof we would all recognize.
Your specialties were fried chicken, burgers, and fries.
In your commercials, there were many celebrities;
we saw Soupy Sales, Muhammad Ali, and Dom DeLuise.
Well, those fast food places are now history.
When the company sold out, they vanished from the vicinity.
Well, times have changed, and the restaurants are back.
The express train is once again running on the track.
In Pennsylvania and Maryland, a few places would appear.
Some more will be springing up next year.
These new spots are better than the ones back then.
It’s good to see your restaurants operating again.
I am small
and gaining WEIGHT
from the chips that I had ATE
Just around the BEND(I can barely do that,FRIEND)
Gut around the MIDDLE while my nephew tells a RIDDLE
Exploding sudden GAS ,it came from my rotund ASS
Chicks no longer LOOK at this unsightly SCHNOOK
as I eat my TWINKIE,the underoos are getting STINKY
What do men and women FEAR-besides an enema to the REAR?
unbearable stomach SIZE of a fatso that we DESPISE
Mother wants to give son TREAT by buying hamburger,Burger King SWEET
Dom Deluise has shown me the WAY to get more pound and flab
by expanding every DAY
Spaghetti and a MEATBALL to placate hunger and it's tasty CALL
Love handles is a feeling WHICH..
I quite fear,
life can be an unfair -ITCH!!
