Verve Pipe, The - Suppertime! Lyrics

Why do we call it a hamburger if there's no ham in it
Why do we call it a sandwich if there's no sand in it
Why do we call it a hotdog if there's no dog in it (or is there?)
'Cause I don't even care 'cause I'm still having it

You say spaghetti, and I say pasghetti
It really doesn't matter, just call me when it's ready
And elephant ears aren't ears at all
They don't compare 'cause they're really kinda small
Complain all you want they don't hear at all

Ma! Why do we call it bacon, you ain't bakin' it
That french toast isn't French and you ain't toastin' it (ooh lala)
Why do they call it milkshake if you ain't shakin' it
It don't matter how you're makin' it as long as you're makin' it

You say pepperoni and I say pepperoni
There really is no other way to say pepperoni
What about bologna I don't know why
It's spelled with an A but sounds like a Y
When I hear that bell I gotta say bye, 'cause it's suppertime

Suppertime is my favorite time of day
Breakfast for dinner or dinner for lunch
If it's lunch before noon you call it brunch, okay

Why do they call it a hamburger there's no ham in it
Why do they call it a sandwich there's no sand in it
Why do they call it a hotdog there's no dog in it
It doesn't matter what's in it 'cause I'm still having it

It ain't raining cats and dogs and it ain't raining buckets
A corn dog isn't corn at all and chicken's don't have nuggets
And elephants ears aren't ears at all
They don't compare 'cause they're really kinda small
Complain all you want they don't hear at all
Now I gotta go 'cause I hear that call (hear that call, hear that call)
It's suppertime
