where have all the breadsticks gone,
where is all the lox?
where is all the cheddar cheese,
I know I bought a box
is't there some white bread up upon the shelf?
late at night I toss and turn I have to feed myself

I need a hero
I'm sendin out for a hero, delivered hot and right
30 or free, they gotta be fast, and they gotta get it here tonight
I'm sendin out for a hero
if there's pieces left then that's allright
I'm callin for sure, and it's gonna be good,
and put that on wheat not on white
not upon white

somewhere after midnight in my hunger pang disease
somewhere just beyond my reach
there's someone honking outside for me
sauce is runnung under, and steam rises from the heat
I coulda ordered chinese in, but this I like to eat

from the golden arches high above
where there's burger kings by me
I compare and their products somehow arent for me
with the sauce and the cheese and the bun
and the meat it's so strange
the food guy' here. and I'll let him keep the change
