SIDE SALAD GIRL
Side salad girl you’re a nice looking sight
Side salad girl whatcha doing tonight?
Side salad girl won’t you order me up
Side salad girl come serve me close up
Chorus:
Side salad girl won’t you sprinkle your cheese
Side salad girl you can do as you please
Side salad girl you’re the best in the world
The salt and the pepper, your dressing’s awhirl
Side salad girl I come here for you
Side salad girl you must know it’s true
Your tomatoes are plump, your mushrooms are fine
I love all your fixins, wanna make em all mine!
Side salad girl let’s blow off this joint
Side salad girl I won’t disappoint
Just grab up your apron this order’s to go
You can cook in my kitchen and put on your show
Chorus:
Side salad girl let’s toss in the breeze
Side salad girl you can do as you please
Side salad girl you’re the best in the world
Your salad’s the freshest, your dressing’s awhirl
Side salad girl come live with me now
We’ll marry, I’ll keep ya, whatever’s allowed
My side salad girl you can do it up right
Let’s get this thing started, come serve me tonight!
A few weeks back we were at a restaurant somewhere and the girl serving us asked my daughter if she wanted her dressing on the side of her salad.
After she took our order I said out loud the phrase, “Side-Salad Girl.” Then I said, “I like that. It sounds kinda cool. I should write a rock song about that.”
My youngest daughter said, “Dad, you can’t write a song called Side Salad Girl.”
So I bet her I could.
This morning I got up and found the post it note that said, “Side Salad Girl,” and wrote this song about it.
I envision it as a sort of hard-driving, shake it about, light-hearted rockabilly tune with a heavy guitar chorus and a few simple, clean licks. Maybe a little blues to the chorus as well.
Mainly it would be a dance and good times song. A sorta “hey girl, let’s quit this no count dead end job and blow this joint” song.
