[Intro]
House lights drop
I smell fries
Cheap beer
Lanyard swingin'
He says
"Keep movin'
Stand clear"
[Verse 1]
He pokes my chest
"Back up
Kid
You’re done"
I got mustard on my wristband
Ticket in my tongue
He stares me down
Like he owns this place
But I paid good money
For this sweat and bass
[Pre-Chorus]
So I grip that bun
Like a lightning gun
Hear my buddy whisper
"Man
You won’t
You won’t" (watch me)
[Chorus]
I threw a hot dog at the security guard
Right through the air like a shooting star
Crowd went wild when it hit his arm
Ketchup on his badge
Lost his charm
We’re singin’
"Hey! Hey!"
Too loud
Too hard
Legend in the nosebleeds
For a hot dog at the security guard
[Verse 2]
He spins around
Slow-motion
Eyes wide
Relish on his walkie-talkie
Drippin’ down the side
He radios for backup
Like it’s code red rain
I’m just laughin’ with my hands up
Banned from this place again
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I feel bad?
Only kinda
Sorta
‘Cause every rebel needs
A stupid war story (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I threw a hot dog at the security guard
Right through the air like a shooting star
Crowd went wild when it hit his arm
Ketchup on his badge
Lost his charm
We’re singin’
"Hey! Hey!"
Too loud
Too hard
Legend in the nosebleeds
For a hot dog at the security guard
[Bridge]
[Drum solo
Crowd claps in time
Guitars drone on one note]
[Band kicks back in
Full blast]
[Bridge]
They’ll tell this tale
From row one to the bar
About the kid with the snack
That flew too far
He tried to kick me out
But the whole place roared
So they cranked up the amps
And we screamed some more (hey!)
[Chorus]
I threw a hot dog at the security guard
Right through the air like a shooting star
Crowd went wild when it hit his arm
Ketchup on his badge
Lost his charm
We’re singin’
"Hey! Hey!"
Too loud
Too hard
Ink my name in bathroom stalls
"Hot Dog Kid" in permanent marker scars
[Outro]
Hands up high
Buns in the sky (whoa)
If you ever feel small
Make your moment large
Like a hot dog
At the security guard
