A song about the time when Quiet Riot got lunch during the production of the Metal Health album.

lyrics

In 1982
We were about to make a good
Record for the record company
We were rich in rock and roll
But we were still money poor
And we needed lunch right there and then
And the lunch was too much for the money we wanted to spend

Kevin wanted chicken parm
So we went down to a farm
That was owned by a friend of a friend of a friend
Of a non-exclusive agent
Agent of The Doors

Quiet Riot

The door was locked and so they knocked
Frankie paradiddled on a block
Of wood that was meant for a carving long ago
The gate unlatched they went inside
the overgrowth of ivy lied
About the bounty it kept
Secret in its shade

Rudy said there’s nothing here
Kevin said try harder dear
Sandwiches don’t grow on autumn trees

Inside Rudy’s chambered heart
Was a locket his friend gave to him
It hung from the top of his pierced right ventricle
He’d forgotten what she looked like
Because he couldn’t look inside
One day he would almost die
From being curious

Carlos found a bush of squab
Frankie drummed the rusty gate
He cymbal crashed the rusty knob
And the pigeons flew away

Quiet Riot

A car drove up
A chevy dart
Their innocence was lost
As the man got out with a treasure map
The x marked chicken parm
The x marked chicken parm
The x marked chicken parm
