Knopfler, Mark - Boom, Like That Lyrics






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

Oh my name is not Crock, 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

Folks 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 say:

These 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 much
Wham! Bam! You don't wait long, shake, fries, patty you're gone
How about that friendly name, heck, every little thing ought to stay the same

Or my name is not Crock, that's Kroc with a K
Like crocodile but not spelled that way now
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Dog eat dog, rat eat rat now
Oh it's dog eat dog, rat eat rat
Kroc style... Boom! like that

You gentlemen ought to expand
You're gonna need a helping hand now
So gentlemen well what about me?
We'll make a little business history now

Oh my name's not Crock, you can call me Ray
Like crocodile but not spelled 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 flippin meat
So I do too, right across the street

I got the name but 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 reality
Competition sent 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

Oh my name is not Crock, that's Kroc with a K
Like crocodile but not spelled 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

    remebering Valdagno 1992 -1996: soundtrack

  2. J.... D....

    I never tire of listening to his music. The talent along side is tremendous. Rah rah!!

  3. P.... J....

    It's good. But not as good as Heavy fuel. Or Silvertown blues. But hey, what do I know? This is the first time I heard it. "Nicotine for breakfast".

  4. b.... r....

    I'm craving a Big Mac and the horrible feeling in my stomach 25 minutes after eating it . 🍔🍟

  5. T.... V....

    Another great song.....I'm so hooked on this music, I don't even want to listen to anything else. The more I search, I find more and more great songs. I've grown up to his music back in the 70s and 80s.
    New generations and he just gets better...Mark's music just flows through your soul. Keep on playing that guitar.🎸🎸

  6. M.... M....

    Soar gu brath

  7. K.... H....

    Am I the only one who thought this song was about a drug dealer??

    K.... H....

    Yes you are . just kidding . 😃

  8. D.... B....

    Some are same same are some love every single one rap I ti rapi ti rap thank you mark.

  9. G.... L....

    As a song writer I am surprised at his subjects for songs. Amazing.... McDonalds. To think you could write a song about it and for it to so good. Make Knopfler ... one the best!

  10. M.... C....

    KISSES I LOVE YOU

  11. J.... A....

    this man is one of his kind .. no one is like him... great MARK

  12. A.... P....

    Dear Mark, You have the heart in Your fingers!

  13. D.... T....

    A round of chords that hypnotizes you and keeps you tied to the rhythm every second

  14. �.... �....

    Great men!!!!!

  15. D.... E....

    There would be more good-humored people in this world if these marks would hear music. It gives me lots of it as well as goose bumps. My Fender is crying in the corner when I hear his music because she knows she will never reach this level with me. A day without this music is like a cripple

  16. m.... c....

    great song Mark i wish i could afford to fly to England from Australia to be at one-off


    your concerts thank you for your youtube Chanel

  17. �.... �....

    Very, very, very good.

  18. B.... L....

    Knoppfler and dire staits and Notting hillbillies are the best bands going today still... Love Mark and his be crew be too bits... Long live !!!

  19. M.... B....

    I never get tired of hearing anything from Mark!

  20. S.... D....

    tu vieillis bien ! tu auras accompagné toute ma vie

  21. S.... D....

    le bossss

  22. k.... 1....

    Nobody today plays like this gentleman. Mark has always been a very intimate guitarist to me. He brings you in and wraps you up nice and warm. You never want him to cease playing. A very, very warm player is Mark. I've loved him since "sultans", but I also really enjoyed "In The Gallery" and "Down by The Waterline". I really, really enjoy his earlier stuff, Making Movies being my favorite. I wasn't crazy about the M-TV years, but he's getting back to his roots now.

  23. A.... B....

    Always great

  24. b.... ....

    ... very cool - eh. tanX

  25. y.... ....

    An absolute classic ... Love it so much

  26. D.... S....

    Any idea what Mark is playing? (SO used to the iconic red strat)

    D.... S....

    I believe it's a jazzmaster, made by Fender. It's a neat guitar, though, and Mr. Knopfler rocks it like he always does.

    D.... S....

    @Daniel R. Merritt Looks somewhat similar, but it is not a JZM. Frankly, it looks like a cheap Strat inspired knock off.

  27. C.... A....

    Mark shroud be crowned a knighthood and be called Sir! His high quality music entertained millions of people!

  28. j.... k....

    Mistrzostwo świata to jest mało powiedziane

  47. L.... ....

    I always thought this song was about the film "The Founder" about Ray Kroc (founder of McDonald's). Today I learned that this song was released in 2004 and the film was made in 2016. Mark Knopfler actually thought of the lyrics from reading Kroc's biography. Mind blown.

  48. M.... N....

    Bom de maissssss...

  49. J.... S....

    Just love you Mark🎤🎶🎸❤️

  50. P.... ....

  59. J.... Z....

    One of VERY FEW annointed as a Master Guitarist by Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler. In my opinion he should be knighted as was Sir Paul.

    J.... Z....

    John Z Agree! Let's add Clapton, Frampton, & Montalban to the list! 👍😀

  60. m.... ....

    Clean as a whistle and it don’t cost much. Love it.

  61. K.... H....
