Plain Plate Of Noodles Songtext
von John Mulaney

I hate to make a scene at a restaurant
But there′s only one meal that I ever want
Just noodles with butter
And not too much
And they have to be the tube kind
Or I won't touch

We were once on a cruise
And the waiters got to know me
Before my family ordered
They would bring me macaroni
A plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter
But life ain′t a cruise ship
It's a boat without a rudder
Yeah, a plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter
It's the only thing I′ll eat


I′ve tried steak and chicken
And lots of different fishes
But I just want my noodles
Even though they're not nutritious
They say be myself
And live the life I want
Except when I want noodles
At a fancy restaurant

I know that I′m not normal
I feel alone and lonely
I'm the only living boy
Who just wants macaroni
I just want macaroni

Just a plain plate of noodles
With a little a bit of butter
′Cause I've tried every food
And I haven′t liked another
A plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter
Is the only thing I'll eat


And on my wedding day
While my bride is eating lobster
Will I still be saying
"Can I please just have some pasta?"
A plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter
I've tried every food
And I haven′t liked another
A plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter
It′s the only thing I'll eat

Just a plain plate of noodles
(A plain plate of noodles)
A plain plate of noodles
(A plain plate of noodles)
A plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter
A plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter
A plain plate of noodles
With a little bit of butter

′Cause I've tried every food
(He′s tried every food)
Lord, I've tried every food
(He′s tried every food)
And I haven't liked another

It's the only thing I′ll eat
