Lyrics:
Seven o'clock in the evening
Watchin somethin' stupid on TV
I'm zoned out on the sofa
When my wife comes in the room and sees me
She says, "Is this Behind the Music with Lynyrd Skynyrd?"
And I say, "I don't know
Say, "It's gettin' late, what you wanna do for dinner?"
She says, "I kinda had a big lunch
So I'm not super hungry."
I said, "Well, you know, baby, I'm not starvin' either
But I could eat."
She said, "So what do you have in mind?"
I said, "I don't know. What about you?"
She said, "I don't care ... if you're hungry, let's eat."
I said, "That's what we're gonna do!
But first you gotta tell me
What it is you're hungry for!"
And she says, "Let me think...
What's left in our refrigerator?"
I said, "Well, there's tuna, I know."
She said, "That went bad a week ago!"
I said, "Is the chili okay?"
She said, "You finished that yesterday!"
I hopped up and I said
"I don't know; do you want to get something delivered?"
She's like, "Why would I want to eat liver?
I don't even like liver!"
I'm like, "No, I said 'delivered.'"
She's like, "I heard you say 'liver'!"
I'm like, "I should know what I said..."
She's like, "Whatever! I just don't want any liver!"
Well, I was gonna say something
But my cell phone started to ring
Now who could be callin' me?
Well I checked my caller ID
It was just cousin Larry
Callin' for the third time today...
My wife said, "Let it go to voicemail."
I said, "Okay."
"Where were we? Oh, dinner, right!
So what d'ya want to do?"
She said, "Why don't you whip up somethin' in the kitchen?"
"Yeah," I said, "why don't you?"
And then she said "Baby, can't we just go out to dinner, please?"
I says, "No"
She says, "Yes"
I says, "No"
She says, "Yes"
I says, "No"
She says, "Yes...
Oh, here's your keys"
I step a little bit closer
Say, "Okay, where ya want to go?"
She says, "How about The Ivy?"
I said, "Yeah, well, I don't know...
I don't feel like gettin all dressed up
And eatin' expensive food"
She's says, "Olive Garden?"
I say, "Nah, I'm not in the mood...
And Burrito King would make me gassy
There's no doubt"
She says, "Just forget about it"
I said, "No, I swear I'm gonna take you out!"
Then I get an idea
I say, "I know what we'll do!"
She says, "What?"
I say, "Guess!"
She says "What?"
I say, "We're goin' to the drive-thru!"
So we head out the front door
Open the garage door
Then I open the car doors
And we get in those car doors
Put my key in the ignition
And then I turn it sideways
Then we fasten our seat belts
As we pull out the driveway
Then we drive to the drive-thru
Heading off to the drive-thru
We're approaching the drive-thru
Getting close to the drive-thru!
Almost there at the drive-thru
Now we're here at the drive thru
Here in line at the drive-thru
Did I mention the drive-thru?

Weird Al said that the original song was so over the top that there was nothing he could write more ridiculous than it, so he made this song about the most normal scenario ever.
-
When you’re trying to hit the word count.
-
$5.82 for a chicken sandwich, a cheeseburger, a curly fries, and a medium root beer. Wow that's a really good perspective on inflation.
-
This hits different as an adult.
-
Can we talk about the most emotional lyric in this? ”Oh.”
-
You can tell this was ten years ago when $5.82 was a believable amount of money for a chicken sandwich, a burger, curly fries and a medium root beer
-
My brother-in-law wanted to play this song during his wedding.
-
"She says 'What?' I say 'Guess. :)' She says 'WHAT!? >:('"
-
Plot twist: Cousin Larry was calling to invite them to dinner.
-
When the essay is supposed to be at least 4000 words but there's not enough information
-
This song is a prime example of doing the Keys, Phone, Wallet check every time you leave the house. 😂
-
my theory is the girl at the speaker box purposely didn't add the onions because of how rude he was being to her and it was petty revenge
-
This is the era of the Internet that needs to come back
-
The fact that he wrote a 10 minute song, where hes overly explaining the most mundane things, AND the whole time it still rhymes is incredible. Weird Al truly is a national treasure.
-
This should not hit this hard 14 years later!!! Timeless art work.
-
-
The only part that didn’t age well is getting a chicken sandwich, burger, fries, and drink all for under $6
-
My guy really rhymed “Drive Thru” 8 times in a row and got away with it
-
The only man to put a guitar solo in a song about drive thrus
-
Over 15 years later, we still don’t know what Cousin Larry wanted!
