The New Restaurant

Entrei em um restaurante e, nossa, era um sonho!I stopped into a restaurant and oh, it was a dream!
A uma meia milha na estrada, dava pra ver o brilho do salão.From a half mile up the highway you could see the fixtures gleam.
Eles aqueciam as xícaras de café com vapor sob pressão,They heated up the coffee cups with extra pressure steam,
Mas a comida era uma droga.But the food was terrible.

As garçonetes eram um charme, tinham olhos tão bonitos,The waitresses were charming, they had such lovely eyes,
Os sorrisos combinavam direitinho e os uniformes, idênticos,Their smiles all matched exactly and their uniforms likewise,
Os cabelos estavam arrumados como a cobertura dos bolos,Their hair was piled as sweetly as the topping on the pies,
Mas a comida era uma droga.But the food was terrible.

A decoração era uma sinfonia em laranja, ouro e branco,The décor was a symphony in orange, gold and white,
A prata e a louça te deixavam cheio de encanto,The silver and the crockery would fill you with delight,
O cardápio era uma obra-prima, tão esperto e tão brilhante,The menu was a masterpiece, so witty and so bright,
Mas a comida era uma droga.But the food was terrible.

Devem ter gastado uma fortuna com os móveis e tal,They must have spent a fortune on the furniture and such,
Com os jogos americanos e os guardanapos, como linho ao tocar,On the place mats and the napkins, just like linen to the touch,
Então o orçamento da cozinha não era lá essas coisas,So the budget for the kitchen really wasn't very much,
E a comida era uma droga.And the food was terrible.

Outra geração vai esquecer o gosto da carne,Another generation will forget the taste of meat,
Dos tomates do jardim e do pão feito de trigo,Of tomatoes from the garden and of bread that's made of wheat,
E nem vão perceber, quando comerem plástico,And they'll never even notice, when it's plastic that they eat,
Que a comida é uma droga.That the food is terrible.
