Dumas Walker's Tales: A Saturday Night Journey
Lyrics
Well let's all go, down to Dumas Walker
Invitation to go to Dumas Walker
Let's all go, down to Dumas Walker
Reiteration of the invitation to go to Dumas Walker
We'll get a slaw burger, fries and a bottle of Ski
Planning to order a slaw burger, fries, and a bottle of Ski (a soft drink)
Bring it on out to my baby and me
Intending to bring the food to the speaker's baby and them
Yeah, we're headed to the drive-in on a Saturday night
Heading to the drive-in on a Saturday night with the speaker's baby
Just me and my baby and a six-pack of lite
Having a six-pack of lite beer
Got a pocketful of money and I'm rarin' to go
Excited and prepared with money to go to Dumas Walker after the show
Down to Dumas Walker right after the show
Specifically going to Dumas Walker after the show
They'll be shootin' marbles in the back of the store
Describing activities at Dumas Walker, such as shooting marbles
And laying money down on the floor
People gambling with money on the floor
Let's all go, down to Dumas Walker
Reiteration of the invitation to go to Dumas Walker
Let's all go, down to Dumas Walker
-We'll get a slaw burger, fries and a bottle of Ski
Reiteration of the planned food order at Dumas Walker
Bring it on out to my baby and me
Reiteration of bringing the food to the speaker's baby and them
He takes all his orders down one at a time
Describing the efficient order-taking process at Dumas Walker
Don't need a pad he's got a photogenic mind
Highlighting the server's remarkable memory for orders
He don't like the young folks hanging around
Expressing a dislike for young people hanging around
He's quick to let you know we got a law in this town
Asserting the presence of a law in the town
You ought to see him grinnin' when he walks through the door
Describing the joyous demeanor of the server when customers enter
The marble king is ready for more
Indicating the server's readiness for more orders
Let's all go, down to Dumas Walker
Reiteration of the invitation to go to Dumas Walker
Let's all go, down to Dumas Walker
-We'll get a slaw, burger, fries and a bottle of Ski
Reiteration of the planned food order at Dumas Walker
Bring it on out to my baby and me
Reiteration of bringing the food to the speaker's baby and them
Here it comes
Conclusion, anticipation of the arrival of something (possibly the food)
