Barangrill Lyrics - For The Roses - Joni Mitchell

Three waitresses all wearing 

Black diamond earrings 

Talking about zombies 

And Singapore slings 

No trouble in their faces 

Not one anxious voice 

None of the crazy you get 

From too much choice 

The thumb and the satchel 

Or the rented Rolls-Royce 

And you think she knows something 

By the second refill 

You think she's enlightened 

As she totals your bill 

You say "Show me the way 

To Barangrill"

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Well some say it's in service 

They say "Humble Makes Pure" 

You're hoping it's near Folly 

'Cause you're headed that way for sure 

And you just have to laugh 

'Cause it's all so crazy 

Ah, her mind's on her boyfriend 

And eggs over easy 

It's just a trick on you 

Her mirrors and your will 

So you ask the truck driver 

On the way to the till 

But he's just a slave 

To Barangrill 

Photos 

The guy at the gaspumps 

He's got a lot of soul 

He sings Merry Christmas for you 

Just like Nat King Cole 

And he makes up his own tune 

Right on the spot 

About whitewalls and windshields 

And this job he's got 

And you want to get moving 

And you want to stay still 

But lost in the moment 

Some longing gets filled 

And you even forget to ask 

"Hey, Where's Barangrill?"
