Thrill of the Grill Songtext
von Kim Carnes

She works real hard in an all-night café
She says she loves her job, wouldn′t have it any other way
Then he walks in wearin' cheap cologne
She says, "I′ll take off early if you'll take me home"

And he says, "Come on, honey, say you will
Jump on into my coupé de ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill"

His hair was slick, but he was slicker
His touch was radioactive, and it made her shiver
And when he emptied his pockets, they were filled with champagne
He held out his hand as he called out her name

And he said, "Come on, honey, say you will
Jump on into my coupé de ville
There′s a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Let′s fall in love to the thrill of the grill"


Sideways
Oh my God, I'm sideways
Half-crazed, I said I′m dizzy, dazed and waylayed

The boss said, "Phillis, have you gone mad?
Oh, you're the best short order that I ever had
Now, don′t throw it all away on a one-night fling
Oh, don't be a fool for a foolish thing"

She tore off her apron, threw down the pan
She said, "Buzz it boss, you just don′t understand
I've waited all my life to feel the thrill
To be carried away on the thrill of the grill"

"So come on, honey"
"Yes, yes I will
Jump on into your coupé de ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill"
"Oh, come on honey, yes I will
I′ll jump on into your coupé de ville
There′s a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill"
