Suppertime! - The Verve Pipe

Why do we call it a hamburger there’s no ham in it

Why do we call it a sandwich there’s no sand in it

Why do we call it a hotdog if there’s no dog in it (or is there?)

I don’t even care 'cause I’m still having it

You say spaghetti, and I say pasghetti

It really doesn’t matter, just call me when it’s ready

And elephant ears aren’t ears at all

They don’t compare 'cause they’re really kinda small

Complain all you want they don’t hear at all

Ma!

Why do we call it bacon, you ain’t bakin' it

That french toast isn’t French and you ain’t toastin' it (ooh lala)

Why do they call it milkshake you ain’t shakin' it

It don’t matter how you’re makin' it as long as you’re makin' it

You say pepperoni and I say pepperoni

There really is no other way to say pepperoni

What about bologna I don’t know why

It’s spelled with an A but sounds like a Y

When I hear that bell I gotta say bye, 'cause it’s suppertime

Suppertime is my favorite time of day

Breakfast for dinner or dinner for lunch

If it’s lunch before noon you call it brunch, okay

Why do they call it a hamburger there’s no ham in it

Why do they call it a sandwich there’s no sand in it

Why do they call it a hotdog there’s no dog in it

It doesn’t matter what’s in it 'cause I’m still having it

It ain’t raining cats and dogs and it ain’t raining buckets

A corn dog isn’t corn at all and chicken’s don’t have nuggets

And elephants ears aren’t ears at all

They don’t compare 'cause they’re really kinda small

Complain all you want they don’t hear at all

Now I gotta go 'cause I hear that call

Hear that call

Hear that call

It’s suppertime
