about

McDonalds “founder” Ray Kroc joyfully leaves his poor, neglected wife Ethel Fleming in favor of a life full of fortune, fun, and fast food.

lyrics

I smell greatness in the air
Ethel, how could you compare
To the massive golden arches over my sweet restaurant?
You can have the car, the house, the baby, you know what I want

I need out of my contracts
All they do is hold me back
Now our loving cup of soda has been spilled
And I’m afraid that we don’t offer free refills

So I’m leaving you for milkshakes, and I’m leaving you for fries
I am leaving you for clowns and purple blobs with big dead eyes
I am leaving you for progress
I am leaving you for fun
Now I’m married to McDonalds baby, ba da ba ba ba
