Give My Compliments To The Chef - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Mother dear, did you hear how they’re teaching me to do the goose step?

Father mine, just in time, you give me a machine to wash my jeans in The customer is always right, the girl is much too young to know the difference

The guitar hanging in the hall is calling me in all its magnificence

Give my compliments to the chef

Give my compliments to the chef

Leo sits behind the desk, he wanna see the women cooking gravy

Nobody sent no argument and I gotta go and join the Royal Navy

Mademoiselle you do so well, you know the meaning of salvation

But the General wants me on the phone and he’s all alone and needs my consolation

Give my compliments to the chef

Give my compliments to the chef

He’s crazy, got his head in a basket

She lazy, you don’t understand

You know I’m running, you don’t wanna hide me I know a woman who’s a man is a man

One night I was dreaming, I lay on my pillow

The train I was riding was ten coaches long

And in the village they was looking at freedom

In the beginning when I knew any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Bad boys don’t get no toys and everybody wants to get to heaven

The Salvation Army’s asking and nobody ever thinks of giving

You know that major seven break my bones

I gotta go out and beg and borrow

You know I wish I could see yesterday

The way I can see tomorrow

Go and take a look in a history book

Oh, it’s up to you to mix the stew

And when you do Give my compliments to the chef

The chef

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

Any old time

I want to give my compliments…
