Take My Burger Away (Real Life Stories)

Verse 1

Seaside on a late afternoon

A gentle breeze and I'm all alone

Holding my burger nice and warm

Watching children playing in the foam

The sunset paints the colors in the sky

Calm and quiet as the hours drift by

Then a shadow crosses over my hand

And suddenly my dinner's out of sight

Pre-Chorus

I turn around but I see nothing at all

Then slowly I look up to the sky

Chorus

Take my burger away

Take my burger away

Four gulls in formation like a movie scene

One of them has got my burger in its beak

Take my burger away

Take my burger away

That blasted bird is doing aerobatics

Mocking me like some Top Gun fanatic

Verse 2

I start walking home completely annoyed

Past the boardwalk and the laughing crowd

Then I see a bald man standing there

With a furry toupee blowing in the air

A gull comes diving straight toward his head

Snatches his toupee and quickly flies away

They must have thought it was a rat

Some tasty little thing like that

Pre-Chorus

His shining skull reflects the setting sun

He just stands there speechless and stunned

Chorus

Take my burger away

Take my burger away

Four gulls in formation like a movie scene

One of them has got my burger in its beak

Take my burger away

Take my burger away

That blasted bird is doing aerobatics

Mocking me like some Top Gun fanatic

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Then suddenly the squadron turns around

And circles slowly over the town

They head into the city searching for their next target

Another meal they're planning to steal

People run and cover up their heads

Tables towels and umbrellas too

While four victorious gulls fly higher

Just to rip off another meal

Final Chorus

Take my burger away

Take my burger away

Four gulls are disappearing in the sunset

Flying proudly at the end of the day

Take my burger away

Take my burger away

One man lost his toupee

And I lost my meal today

Outro

The beach will be cleaned tomorrow

The people will forget this day

But somewhere high above the ocean

Four little wings are flying away

And I still remember

Take my burger away
