Boom Like That Lyrics
Artist(Band):Mark Knopfler
i’m going to san bernardino
ring-a-ding-ding
milkshake mixers
that’s my thing, now
these guys bought
a heap of my stuff
and i gotta see a good thing
sure enough, now
or my name’s not kroc
that’s kroc with a ‘k’
like ‘crocodile’
but not spelled that way, now
it’s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that
the folks line up
all down the street
and i’m seeing this girl
devour her meat, now
and then i get it, wham
as clear as day
my pulse begins to hammer
and i hear a voice say:
these boys have
got this down
oughtta be a one of these
in every town
these boys have
got the touch
it’s clean as a whistle
and it don’t cost much
wham, bam
you don’t wait long
shake, fries
patty, you’re gone
and how about that
friendly name?
heck, every little thing
oughtta stay the same
or my name’s not kroc
that’s kroc with a ‘k’
like ‘crocodile’
but not spelt that way, now
it’s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
Oh, it's dog eat dog,
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that
you gentlemen
ought to expand
you’re going to need
a helping hand, now
so, gentlemen
well, what about me?
we’ll make a little
business history, now
or my name’s not kroc
call me ray
like ‘crocodile’
but not spelt that way, now
it’s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that
well we build it up
and i buy ‘em out
but, man they made me
grind it out, now
they open up a new place
flipping meat
so i do, too
right across the street
i got the name
i need the town
they sell up in the end
and it all shuts down
sometimes you gotta
be an s.o.b.
you wanna make a dream
reality
competition?
send ‘em south
if they’re gonna drown
put a hose in their mouth
do not pass go
go straight to hell
i smell that
meat hook smell
or my name’s not kroc
that’s kroc with a ‘k’
like ‘crocodile’
but not spelt that way, now
it’s dog eat dog
rat eat rat
Oh, it's dog eat dog
rat eat rat
kroc-style
boom, like that

Review about Boom Like That
BRILLIANT. | Reviewer: music lover not fighter | 3/14/2008What a great song. Listening to it, without analyzing the words you wouldn't think about agressive corporate domination and brutual competition elimination techniques. But then you listen to the words, and you can actually see what Ray Kroc saw when he visited the first McDonalds. "Damn. I should copy these... times... like a billion... I'd be rich"
he was right.
Go Mark Go. My other favorite on this album is without a doubt "Don't Crash the Ambulence"
mark knopfler (meaning) | Reviewer: Max | 10/1/2007
This song is about whe mcdoalds guy and how he got started selling milkshake mixers and got the idea of mcdonals and worked his way up the chain. This song is not odd for them, it you listen to the album " shangri-la" most of the songs are a bout people, elvis, ray kroc, sonny liston ect, listin to it
Whoa, you guys aren't listening to the lyrics. . . | Reviewer: MQ | 7/24/2007
This song is all about the lyrics, the smooth musical style is to hide what he's singing about - the quote of Ray Kroc's - the king of the McDonald's fast-food chain, and this is a quote - "if they're gonna drown, put a hose in their mouth." The take no prisoners management sytle of Ray Kroc.
funky song #1 | Reviewer: Dave | 7/6/2007
This is a really unusual Knopfler song. It is more ambiguous than a lot of his material and has a sort of a funky California feel. I really feel a strong Clapton influence with the lead guitar part.
Dire Straits / Knoppfler | Reviewer: Michael | 7/6/2007
It's a great song, especially the part the guitar's playing troughout the whole song. It's peacefull, whereas it's a very happy song too. There are several short guitar solos in it, wich I think are great.
The song sounds a little like 'What it is' and 'Sultans of Swing'.
Slow Dire Straits style | Reviewer: Marien | 9/10/2004
This first single of the new Mark album "Shangri la" is quite different, I mean more "Straits style" from the other tracks (As was "What it is" in his second solo album, "Sailing to philadelphia"). We can hear in this track lot of peaceful and sharpened guitar, in the unique style of Marko. Just learn the lyrics (not very long), take a guitar (or a pillow, a bag or your cat), put yourself in front of your clothing mirror, and enjoy =)
