Tom Waits - (Intro) Lyrics

Tom Waits Lyrics

"(Intro)"

I was always—er—kinda wanted to—like—consider myself kind of a... pioneer of the palate
A restaurateur, if you will
I've wined, dined, sipped and supped in some of the most-demonstrably beamer epitomable bistros in the Los Angeles metropolitan region
Yeah, I've had strange-looking patty melts at Norm's
I've had dangerous veal cutlets at the Copper Penny
Well, what you get is a breaded Salisbury steak in a Shake 'n Bake
And topped with a provocative sauce of Velveeta and—uh—half and half
Smothered with Campbell's tomato soup, huh-uh-uh-uh...
See: I have kinda of a—well, I order my veal cutlet
Christ! It left the plate and it walked down to the end of the counter and it—I just—
Waitress named Irene. Boy! She's wearing those rhinestone glasses with the little pearl thing clipped on the sweater and...
My veal cutlet come down, tried to beat the shit out of my cup of coffee but...
Coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself, uh-uh-uh-uh...
