[Intro: grill sizzling, funky bass riff] [Spoken] First rule of burgers… [Pause] Stop touching the meat. [Drum hit] [Verse 1: bouncing groove] Get that eighty-twenty beef Fat brings flavor That’s the belief Six ounces Nice and loose Don’t knead the life Out of the juice Shape it wider Than the bun Little dimple Center one Straight in the fridge Till the skillet’s hot [Backing Vocals] HOT! HOT! HOT! [Lead] Cast iron screaming That’s the spot [Pre-Chorus] Salt and pepper Right before Season both sides Nothing more No breadcrumbs No egg inside This ain’t meatloaf Let the beef provide [Chorus: crunchy guitars] DON’T PRESS THE BURGER! LET THE JUICES STAY HARD SEAR FIRST THEN FLIP AWAY Three or four minutes First side down Deep brown crust All around Flip it once Cheese goes on [Backing Vocals] Cover that pan! [Lead] Let it melt Then move along [Verse 2] Toast those buns Cut-side low Butter if you want Let ’em glow Pickles ready Onions sliced Tomato salted Very nice Sauce could be Mayo and mustard Ketchup too If that’s your custom [Backing Vocals] Build it! Stack it! [Lead] But don’t bury All the beef [Bridge: beat drops, spoken rhythm] For food safety Ground beef should reach One-sixty Fahrenheit [Backing Vocals] Check the middle! [Lead] Use a thermometer Not your hopes and dreams And once it’s done Let it rest Just a minute or two Because patience Is technically An ingredient too [Final Chorus: bigger] DON’T PRESS THE BURGER! LET THE JUICES STAY HARD SEAR FIRST THEN FLIP AWAY Toast the bun Melt the cheese Pickles Onions Sauce with ease Keep it simple Keep it bold Juicy center Crust like gold [Gang Vocals] BEEF! SALT! HEAT! REST! [Lead] That’s the burger That’s the test [Outro: grill sizzle fading] [Spoken] Eighty-twenty. Hot pan. One flip. Don’t press it. [Pause] Unless you’re making smash burgers. [Backing Vocals] Different song! [Final guitar hit]
