Buffet Song
Rhett And Link Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I enjoy buffets, i wouldn′t say love buffets
But is a very reasonable way to eat out.
The quantity of food is unlimited,
Which is something you don't get in a regular sit down restaurant.
And then i like it when they serve lamb,
Because everybody doesn′t serve lamb and just seems like the main
Thing is always the prime rib, i mean i had prime rib at the Kazoo.
What it's is there's burners and then they put a water pan,
And then they put the food on top of the water pan,
So it′s actually the heat of the steam, that′s keeping the food hot

Where your face is there's glass,




And then you′re handling everything underneath
The glass with your hands, handling with your hands

Overall Meaning

Rhett acknowledges that he might not love buffets, but he recognizes that they are a practical and reasonably affordable option for eating out.

Rhett particularly enjoys buffets that serve lamb, since it is not a main dish in most buffets, and the usual main dish tends to be prime rib.


Additionally, the song provides insight into how buffets work. The food is kept hot by burners with a water pan underneath the food. The steam generated by the water pan heats up the food. At buffets, the food is displayed under glass and patrons handle the serving spoons and utensils with their own hands.


Overall, the Buffet Song pays tribute to the convenience and variety offered by buffets while also shedding light on how they work.

I know people take this song for granted because it's the comedy song, but can I just say the 1:30 section and the final falsetto harmony at the end is beautiful. 0-0
