Boom, Like That Lyrics


I'm going to San Bernardino, ring-a-ding-ding
Milkshake mix, yes that's my thing now
These guys bought a heap 'o my stuff
And I gotta see a good thing shooting up nowOr my name is not Kroc, it's Kroc with a K
A crocodile is not spelt that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like thatFolks line up all down the street
Now I am seeing this girl devour her meat now
And then I get it, wham as clear as day
My pulse begins to hammer then I hear a voice sayThese boys have got this down
Ought to be one of these in every town
These boys have got the touch
It's clean as a whistle and it don't cost muchWham bam, don't wait long
Shake fries patty, you're gone
And how about that friendly name
Heck, every little thing gotta stay the sameOr my name is not Kroc, that's Kroc with a K
A crocodile but not spelt that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat

Dog eat dog, rat eat rat
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like thatYou gentlemen are to expand
You're gonna need a helping hand now
So gentlemen, well, what about me?
We'll make a little business history nowOr my name is not Kroc, it's Kroc with a K
A crocodile is not spelt that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like thatWell, we'll build it up and I'll buy him out
The man they made me grind it out now
They open up a new place flippin' meat
So I do too, right across the streetI got the name, I need the town
Sell 'em in the end and it all shuts down
Sometimes you gotta be an S.O.B.
You wanna make a dream realityCompetition send 'em south
If they're gonna drown put a hose in their mouth
Do not pass, go straight to hell
I smell a lotta meat, da smellOr my name is not Kroc that's Kroc with a K
A crocodile is not spelt that way now
Ohh, it's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Dog eat dog, rat eat rat now
Ohh, it's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style, boom like that

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Mark Freuder Knopfler, OBE (born August 12, 1949, Glasgow, Scotland) is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although best-known as the lead guitarist and vocalist for the band Dire Straits (1977 - 1995), Mark has also made albums as a solo performer and played in other bands (such as the Notting Hillbillies). He has also performed on work by other artists, such as Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Chet Atkins, and produced albums for artists such as Tina Turner, Randy Newman, and (again) Bob Dylan. In addition, he has scored the music to several films, including Local Hero, The Princess Bride, Comfort and Joy, Cal, Last Exit to Brooklyn and Wag the Dog.

After Knopfler disbanded Dire Straits in 1995, he launched straight into a solo career with 'Golden Heart' (1996) - a mixture of his various music stylings that appeared throughout Dire Straits' career.
'Sailing to Philadelphia' (2000) was the breakthrough album for his solo career. With stars such as James Taylor and Van Morrison, 'Sailing to Philadelphia' was one of his most successful albums to date.

His next album 'The Ragpicker's Dream' (2002) saw Knopfler move to the 'story telling theme'. The single 'Why Aye Man' was used as the theme tune for the third series of 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet' in 2002.

His next album 'Shangri-La' was released in 2004 with a tour proceeding in 2005. 'Shangri-La' continued the idea of storytelling with each song having a different story (e.g. Boom, Like That is referring to the story of Ray Kroc and McDonalds). A motorcycle accident in 2005 meant the tour was postponed but was continued later that year.

2006 saw the release of 'All the Roadrunning' - a collaboration album with Emmylou Harris. This contains a mixture of rock and folk-styled music, mostly written by Knopfler. A tour followed the release of the album.

'Kill To Get Crimson', another folk-rock-bluesy record was released in autumn of 2007,
with a tour in 2008.

Get Lucky album released in September 2009, with a tour planned for North America and Europe commencing in the spring of 2010.

Knopfler was named #27 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

Mark is currently in his studio recording new album, "Privateering". It will be released on 3rd September of 2012.
