At the Drive Through
GW Rasberry Dave Clark

In the backseat with my sister at the drive through
At the drive through at the drive through
My mom my dad my brother and the dog, too
And the lineup is 12 cars long

I’m hoping for some French fries at the drive through
at the drive through at the drive through
A burger and hot chocolate and some ice cream too
And the lineup is 11 cars long

This could be a bad day—
if my mother doesn’t get her latté
Makes it feel just like a Monday—
on a Saturday afternoon

Don’t mean to be complaining at the drive through
At the drive through, at the drive through
But this whole thing feels insane here at the drive through
And the lineup is 10 cars long

Sometimes I wonder why no one’s inside
Empty tables. Empty chairs
It looks clean and cozy but no one is there

Cuz’ everybody’s lined up at the drive through
at the drive through at the drive through
Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me how about you
And the lineup is 9 cars long

9 cars long 9 cars long
see how we wait see how we wait …

Our dog is getting restless at the drive through
At the drive through at the drive through
He’s chewing on the arm rest and the seat belt too
And the lineup is 8 cars long

Last time he ate 2 dozen donuts and some chili too
and some chili too at the drive through
That’s why he’s so excited wouldn’t you be too?
And the lineup is 7 cars long

This could be a good day—
now that we’re only 6 cars away
Hey Look! Now we’re 5 cars away—
everything’s going to be ok

I’m fighting with my sister at the drive through
At the drive through at the drive through
Threw an orange peel but I missed her at the drive through
And the lineup is 4 cars long
Sometimes I wonder why no one’s inside
Empty tables. Empty chairs
It looks clean and cozy but no one is there

My dad is getting angry at the drive through
at the drive through at the drive though
he’s mad at me he’s mad at her he’s mad at you
And the lineup is 3 cars long

3 cars long. 3 cars long
see how we wait. see how we wait
we put in our orders we’re waiting our turn
reaching the window’s our only concern
you’d think that by now maybe we might have learned
3 cars long. 3 cars long.

Seagulls fighting over bagels at the drive through
At the drive through at the drive through
Racoons on picnic tables at the drive through
and the lineup is 2 cars long

Our dog is throwing up now at the drive through
At the drive through at the drive through
the whole car’s going crazy at the drive through
But at least we’re first in line
Cuz we’ve been waiting all this time
At the window—we’re first in line!
