The Dairy Queen has melted Having laid all her eggs And the sporting good store At the corner under the overpass With an ice cream hot mouth She smiled a carnation pink Into the root canal music Of a prom night disaster that sink On roads paved with liver and onions As the ginger ale tickled her noise And the power lines traced with a finger Where gray turning gold Jokingly blowing a bubble As the teenagers slammed on their brakes And sucking her teeth She insisted on raising the stakes Now the Dairy Queen is quiet Sweating brown vinyl seats With a need for directions And candy that's never too sweet
