Waitin' on a Meal

*(Verse 1)* I met a man down by the station, lookin’ mad as sin, He say, “Lord, I’m starvin’, but my supper won’t begin.” I say, “Go on home, man, get your skillet hot,” He say, “Naw, I ordered somethin’, s'posed to be at this spot.” *(Chorus)* Oh, waitin’ on a meal? Boy, you must be sick, Food don’t come knockin’, you best grab a stick. You got two good hands, you got a fryin’ pan, Now tell me why you waitin’ on some invisible man? *(Verse 2)* He say, “I pressed some buttons, picked a dish real fine, Paid my money, said it’d be here by half-past nine. Now it’s ten past, and I’m standin’ here cold, No stew, no biscuit, no plate to hold.” *(Chorus)* Oh, waitin’ on a meal? Boy, that just ain't right, If you want some dinner, go and cook you a bite. Ain’t no magic fairy bringin’ food to your door, You best light that stove ‘fore you fall to the floor. *(Spoken)* Aww, light it up. *(Solo)* *(Bridge)* Now he paces and mutters, starin’ at the street, Sayin’ “Where’s my chicken? Where’s my treat?” I say, “Man, you crazy, this don’t make no sense, Ain’t no supper gonna travel ‘cross a hundred fence.” *(Spoken)* Lemme tell ya. *(Solo)* *(Chorus)* Oh, waitin’ on a meal? That sound like a joke, Ain’t no fish gon’ fry if you don’t strike a smoke. I left him there grumblin’, talkin’ to the air, While I went home and cooked me a feast with care. *(Big Finish)* *(Silence)*
