I don't want French-fried potaters,
Red ripe tomaters,
I'm never satisfied!
I want the frim fram sauce
With the ausen fay,
With shafafer on the side.

I don't want pork chops and bacon,
That won't awaken
My appetite inside!
I want the frim fram sauce
With the ausen fay,
With shafafer on the side.

A fella really got to eat,
And a fella should eat right;
Five will get you ten
I'm gonna feed myself right tonight!

I don't want fish cakes and rye bread,
you heard what I said,
Waiter, please serve mine fried!
I want the frim fram sauce
With the ausen fay,
With shafafer on the side.

A fella really got to eat,
And a fella should eat right;
Five will get you ten
I'm gonna feed myself right tonight!

I don't want fish cakes and rye bread,
you heard what I said,
Waiter, please serve mine fried!
I want the frim fram sauce
With the ausen fay,
With shafafer on the side.

Now if you don't have it,
Just bring me the check for the water.
