Coyote McCloud & Clara Peller - Where's the Beef? [1984] [With Lyrics!]

Wendy's song for their "Where's the Beef?" commercials from 1984-1985. This was released on vinyl back in 1984 and is a very rare song to come by. It was released with an instrumental version of this song also. It was never released on CD and when it was released on vinyl it was only released through a limited quantity. "Where's the beef, damn it?! I want my big fluffy buns and beef!!"

Lyrics from the back cover of the vinyl:

Old lady walking in the midday sun
She stops for lunch at the House of Buns
She orders a hamburger (Well of course)
They brought her some buns that would choke a small horse
(big buns, big buns)

Thought she was gettin' a heck of a deal

A buck ninety-nine for a whole darn meal
(doo de doo, doo de doo)

But when she opened the buns to put on the mustard
(doo de doo, doo de doo)

Hey eyes squinted up and she got all flustered
(doo de doo, doo de doo)

She said I've had burgers well-done and rare
But now I got one that ain't even there
She got no response from ringin' the bell
And that's when she started to yell!

[CHORUS]
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
(Young man, can't you hear her call
She don't see no beef at all)
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
(Call a cop and catch the thief
the one who stole this lady's beef)
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
(Eeny meeny miney mo
tell us where did our beef go?)
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
(Won't somebody end her grief
And tell her where's the beef?)

Can anybody hear me?
I don't think there's anybody back there!
HEY, WHERE'S THE BEEF?

Its the biggest ripoff you ever saw
(Where did it go) [2x]
I swear there ought to be a law
(ought to be a law) [2x]

A woman can't live by buns alone
She's caught in a hamburger twilight zone!

Where's the beef, she asked the boss
(where's the beef, where's the beef)
He said "Check under that special sauce."

This whole thing's too weird for me
Where, oh where, can her beef be?
What's the secret, tell me how
3 billion sold from just one cow...

[Repeat chorus]

Where's the Beef?
Where's the Beef?

[Repeat chorus out]
