lyrics

My dinner with Andy in this strip mall
my ignorant questions, he answers them all
I’ll have more in the future, I’m so quite sure
all over the world there’s 10,000 more
Yesterday I planned to make this about a Korean place
that’s a story for another time and place
so I met Andy at a different kind of place

My dinner with Andy was without flair
just nice after work to grab a bite somewhere
this sea of commuting, I nearly drown
what once was the sticks is a bustling town
Yesterday I planned to make this about a Korean place
that’s a story for another time and place
so I met Andy at a different kind of place

a conversation that oughta be happening more often
person to person, a little understanding sure does go a long way
ought to be talking with each other so many choices
of world cuisine to facilitate this discussion

breaking our bread with our hands
and passing the salt if you can
gather together, variety spices up all our lives

My dinner with Andy again next week
he works until 6, so say 6:15
join us with your questions, there’s lots of time
to answer them thoughtfully as we dine
