Neil Innes Take Away Lyrics

Take Away Lyrics

Walkin' the street 

Hopin' to meet 

 A real-life Satan's daughter


Oh what I'd give for a chance to be with 

A queen of the red-light
quarter 

"Open All Night", the sign was so bright 

I found myself
steppin' inside 

"What'll it be" she said lookin' at me 

I said
"whaddaya got" 

She replied, 



"Do you want to eat it here or
take it away? 

It makes no difference to me as long as you pay 

I'm
open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day 

So do you want to eat it
here or take it away?" 



Well I'm just a poor boy a long way from
home 

And I have to admit I been drinkin' 

I was feeling cocksure
but I don't anymore 

And there's no reason to my way of thinkin'

"I'll take it away", I heard myself say 

But by now I had no appetite


I was feeling so strange as I picked up my change 

And walked out
into the night 



Do you want to eat it here or take it away? 

It makes no difference to me as long as you pay 

I'm open seven days a
week, twenty-four hours a day 

So do you want to eat it here or take it
away? 



Well do you want to eat it here or take it away? 

It
makes no difference to me as long as you pay 

I'm open seven days a week,
twenty-four hours a day 

So do you want to eat it here or take it away?
