The Steaks Are High (Rerecorded/Remastered) Lyrics

I drove to the store the other day

I was thinking that I would buy a steak

But then I saw the price

This steak was fifty dollars

Fifty dollars? That's absurd

I decided to change my dinner plans for the night

But I was greatly disappointed

I really wish I had that steak

The steak is expensive

And I don't have the money

I really want that steak

I really wish I had that steak

It's too much money

And I'm almost broke

I really want that steak

I really wish I had that steak

After I saw the steak prices at the store

I decided that I would go to a restaurant instead

At first there were no problems

I ordered the biggest, juiciest steak

When I had finished my meal

The waiter walked over to give me the check

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price

Three hundred smackeroonies? That's absurd

The steak is expensive

And I don't have the money

I shouldn't have gotten steak

I wish that I didn't get that steak

I'm now in debt

Because of my meal

I shouldn't have gotten steak

I really wish I didn't get that steak

Since I have lost my all of my money

I've been forced to live on the streets

It's quite the shame really

But at the same time, it's awfully fun

On most days, the restaurants serve steak

So I climb into their dumpsters for the leftovers

The stakes are high, but it's worth the risk

No foodborne illness will keep me from my steak
