Upon ignoring the GPS (in the previous song), the family drives past a fast food restaurant, and they make the impulsive decision to go through the drive-thru.
[Verse 1]
You know that I love you, and you know that love is true
There's something I feel so deeply about getting drive-thru
We order and shunt along, the best traffic jam around
But soon we'll be at the porthole, where the burgers can be found
[Chorus]
To the valley of the golden nugget, where the rivers run so sweet
It's either heart attack, or love my dear
For my heart just skipped a beat
[Verse 2]
We're driving through the drive-thru, for that's what it's built to do
A minute past, we were hungry, now we've rations for the crew
A belly full of treasure from the paper chest, we want
I was happy in this car before, and now it's a restaurant
[Chorus]
To the valley of the golden nugget, where the rivers run so sweet
It's either heart attack, or love my dear
For my heart just skipped a beat
[Verse 3]
We'll take this meal to a quiet place, where lovers often meet
It's safest not to drive all greasy, please don't get sauce on the seat
As this dream is ending, I find more fries up for grabs
I feel no shame in claiming them from the bottom of the bag
[Chorus x 2]
To the valley of the golden nugget, where the rivers run so sweet
It's either heart attack, or love my dear
For my heart just skipped a beat
To the valley of the golden nugget, where the rivers run so sweet
It's either heart attack, or love my dear
For my heart just skipped a beat
[Outro]
We've ruined dinner, yet made our day
As we eat, and drink, and sing
We'll remember these small times, as just the greatest thing
