The Verve Pipe - Suppertime! lyrics

Why do we call it a hamburger if there's no ham in it Why do we call it a sandwich if there's no sand in it Why do we call it a hotdog if there's no dog in it (or is there?) I don't even care 'cause I'm still having it You say spagetti, and I say pasghetti It really doesn't matter, just call me when it's ready And elephant ears aren't ears at all They don't compare 'cause they're really kinda small Complain all you want they don't hear at all Ma! Why do we call it bacon, you ain't bakin' it That french toast isn't French and you ain't toastin' it (ooh lala) Why do they call it milkshake if you ain't shakin' it It don't matter how you're makin' it as long as you're makin' it You say pepperoni and I say pepperoni There really is no other way to say pepperoni What about bologna I don't know why It's spelled with an A but sounds like a Y When I hear that bell I gotta say bye, 'cause it's suppertime Suppertime is my favorite time of day Breakfast for dinner or dinner for lunch If it's lunch before noon you call it brunch, okay Why do they call it a hamburger there's no ham in it Why do they call it a sandwich there's no sand in it Why do they call it a hotdog there's no dog in it It doesn't matter what's in it 'cause I'm still having it It ain't raining cats and dogs and it ain't raining buckets A corn dog isn't corn at all and chicken's don't have nuggets And elephants ears aren't ears at all They don't compare 'cause they're really kinda small Complain all you want they don't hear at all Now I gotta go 'cause I hear that call (hear that call x2) It's suppertime
