[Verse 1]
Em Am
Welcome my friends to Cafe La Rue
F B
Here is a menu for you to look through
Em Am
Here at the cafe you get to choose
B B Em
Any life that seems delicious to you
Em Am
Just to get started there’s mother and wife
F B
Some people don’t much like the taste of this life
Em Am
So if spice is a price that you're willing can bear
F B
It pairs awfully well with a saucy affair
Am B Em
You could try politician an excellent choice
Am B Em
Illicit endeavors, an oversized voice
Am B Em
But if you want something sweet, it’s a turn for the worse
B
This dish always ends with no just deserts
[Chorus]
G Am
Are you crushed, are you steamed, are you fried
G D
Tell us what kind of life would you like
G C
It’s a diet you’ll down til you die
Cm Em
But darling you get to decide
[Verse 2]
Em Am
There’s lottery winner, that one’s served rare
F B
I’m afraid just fresh out of tech millionaire
Em Am
You won’t get full though you’ll feel dignified
F B
‘Cause those richer dishes are hollow inside
Am B Em
We’ve got child mistreated, and husband abused
Am B Em
And prisoner who has been falsely accused
Am B Em
Every once in a while, no matter your wish
B
you might find some trouble snuck into your dish
[Chorus]
G Am
Are you crushed, are you steamed, are you fried
G D
Tell us what kind of life would you like
G C
It’s a diet you’ll down til you die
Cm Em
But darling you get to decide
[Verse 3]
Am D G E7
Let’s hope the meal’s massive, and not just a snack
Am D G Em
'Cause if you don’t like it, you can’t send it back
C
No matter your order, the time or the place
Cm
All you can do is just savor the taste
Em Am
When life’s out of control, and it seems to you
F B
Like a seven course meal you were forced to sit through
Em Am
If ever you thought that your life had picked you
B
Remember you once sat at Cafe La Rue
[Chorus]
G Am
Are you crushed, are you steamed, are you fried
G D
Tell us what kind of life would you like
G C
It’s a diet you’ll down til you die
Cm Em
But darling you get to decide
