Текст песни The New Restaurant (Malvina Reynolds) с переводом

I stopped into a restaurant and oh, it was a dream!

From a half mile up the highway you could see the fixtures gleam

They heated up the coffee cups with extra pressure steam

But the food was terrible

The waitresses were charming, they had such lovely eyes

Their smiles all matched exactly and their uniforms likewise

Their hair was piled as sweetly as the topping on the pies

But the food was terrible

The décor was a symphony in orange, gold and white

The silver and the crockery would fill you with delight

The menu was a masterpiece, so witty and so bright

But the food was terrible

They must have spent a fortune on the furniture and such

On the place mats and the napkins, just like linen to the touch

So the budget for the kitchen really wasn’t very much

And the food was terrible

Another generation will forget the taste of meat

Of tomatoes from the garden and of bread that’s made of wheat

And they’ll never even notice, when it’s plastic that they eat

That the food is terrible
