Gourmet Gold, Empty Plate

Prompt

A jaunty humerous ballad about how 2 michelin star restaurants are never as good as you think they will be, but sure are very expensive. Upbeat with Piano.

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse]
Booked six months ahead, felt so grand
Michelin stars, the best in the land
White tablecloths, a hushed, reverent air
Prepared for a feast beyond compare

[Pre-Chorus]
The waiter arrived with a flourish and bow
Whispering specials, I hadn't a clue how
Tiny portions, artistic and neat
But my stomach was rumbling, craving more meat!

[Chorus]
Oh, the two-star surprise, it's a culinary jest
Looks like a painting, but fails the true test
Tiny bites, big bill, what a comical plight
Expensive disappointment, day and night!

[Verse]
Foam on the side, a molecular sphere
A single pea, held oh so dear
They explained its essence, its journey, its soul
While my wallet was losing all control

[Pre-Chorus]
A whisper of truffle, a delicate steam
Was this really worth my life's dream?
I chewed on the silence, the exquisite taste
Wondering how much money went to waste

[Chorus]
Oh, the two-star surprise, it's a culinary jest
Looks like a painting, but fails the true test
Tiny bites, big bill, what a comical plight
Expensive disappointment, day and night!

[Bridge]
My friends all swoon, they rave and they sigh
'The texture was divine!' 'That sauce made me cry!'
I nod and I smile, though I feel like a fraud
My palate's just basic, I'm sorry, dear God!

[Instrumental]
(Upbeat, slightly frantic piano solo)

[Chorus]
Oh, the two-star surprise, it's a culinary jest
Looks like a painting, but fails the true test
Tiny bites, big bill, what a comical plight
Expensive disappointment, day and night!

[Outro]
