Sweet Harriet

Condiment Casualties

Story Behind The Song

I went to Las Vegas with girlfriends. I wanted a burger and a beer and they kept walking past the food and onto the next dance place. Finally, we stopped for a bite to eat and I got my burger and beer. I added ketchup, mustard and mayo. It dripped on my shirt of course. We had to go shopping. Did you know that when you go clothes shopping in Las Vegas they let you have a beer in the dressing room? I actually did get the mustard crust on my burger. I did holler about it. Ketchup will explode when you shake it! My niece got the benefit of that across her white t-shirt and on her glasses.

Lyrics

I just want a burger and a cold draft beer
My girlfriends want a salad, they won't eat a steer.
We look our best when we go out, but wait and you will see
Why all my shirts have evidence of condiment casualty

I just got the mustard crust from the cap on the bottle
It fell onto my burger you should'a heard me holler
One more squeeze of runny juice and a plop of yellow goo
If you got what I got you would holler too

Next I got the ketchup and thought I would be smart
I shook it hard a few times and took the cap apart
It blew up on my white shirt with one drop in my eye
Order me a cold draft beer 'cause I just want to cry

Chorus


I sank my teeth into the meat and savored all the flavor
The juices headed south and west and splashed onto my neighbor
Take into consideration, friendship is the key
They all want to buy new clothes after goin' out with me!


Chorus (why all my friends are victim of condiment casualty)
