[Intro]
Eb
[Verse 1]
Eb Db7
Three waitresses all wearing black diamond earrings
Abm Eb
Talking about zombies and Singapore slings
Eb Db7
No trouble in their faces, not one anxious voice
Abm Eb
None of the crazy you get from too much choice
Abm Eb
The thumb and the satchel or the rented Rolls-Royce
Bbm Fm
And you think she knows something by the second refill
Cm Gm
You think she's enlightened and she totals your bill
Abm Eb
You say "Show me the way to Barangrill"
[Verse 2]
Eb Db7
Well some say it's in service, they say "Humble Makes Pure"
Abm Eb
You're hoping it's near Folly, 'cause you're headed that way for sure
Eb Db7
And you just have to laugh 'cause it's all so crazy
Abm Eb
Ah, her mind's on her boyfriend and eggs over easy
Bbm Fm
It's just a trick on you her mirrors and your will
Cm Gm
So you ask the truck driver on the way to the till
Abm Db Eb
But he's just a slave to Barangrill
[Verse 3]
Eb Db7
The guy at the gas pumps He's got a lot of soul
Abm Eb
He sings Merry Christmas for you just like Nat King Cole
Eb Db7
And he makes up his own tune right on the spot
Abm Eb
About whitewalls and windshields and this job he's got
Bbm
And you want to get moving and you want to stay still
Cm Bb
But lost in the moment some longing gets filled
Abm Ebm Eb Bbm
And you even forget to ask: "Hey, where's Barangrill?"
