In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’
Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;
Lured by...

Something Odd Goin' On
What's up?
What's going on?
How come it's 3AM?
And bright as noon?
Have I finally made it
Into a Looney-Tune?
Who left me a hot breakfast,
Then disappeard?
How the hell did I
Overnight grow a green beard?
And that new Lamborgini
In my driveway

For reasons lost in time;
The Fresno Fuzzy Socks
And The Chattahoochee Crocs
