Take Away Lyrics

Neil Innes Take Away

Walkin' the street
Hopin' to meet
A real-life Satan's daughter
Oh what I'd give for a chance to be with
A queen of the red-light quarter
"Open All Night", the sign was so bright
I found myself steppin' inside
"What'll it be" she said lookin' at me
I said "whaddaya got"
She replied,
"Do you want to eat it here or take it away?
It makes no difference to me as long as you pay
I'm open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day
So do you want to eat it here or take it away?"
Well I'm just a poor boy a long way from home
And I have to admit I been drinkin'
I was feeling cocksure but I don't anymore
And there's no reason to my way of thinkin'
"I'll take it away", I heard myself say
But by now I had no appetite
I was feeling so strange as I picked up my change
And walked out into the night
Do you want to eat it here or take it away?
It makes no difference to me as long as you pay
I'm open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day
So do you want to eat it here or take it away?
Well do you want to eat it here or take it away?
It makes no difference to me as long as you pay
I'm open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day
So do you want to eat it here or take it away?
