The skies are charcoal gray
It's a dreary downtown day
But
At the end of my forty-foot leash
Is my little friend
Quiche
Quiche La Poodle
Is her name
And having a good time on a crummy day is our game
Quiche
Quiche Lorraine
Quiche, Quiche Lorraine
Quiche, Quiche Lorraine
Everyday I take her out, yeah
She runs around and she shouts out and barks, yeah
'Cause she's a good doggie
She's a sweet, sweet, sweet puppy
And I know she'll stick by me, yeah
Oh no, here comes a Great Dane (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
Drivin' down the lane (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
Quiche, Quiche, Quiche come back here (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
Don't leave me (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
I'll go insane (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
I'll go insane (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
How do you like that?
Has anybody seen
A dog dyed dark green?
About two inches tall
With a strawberry blonde fall
Sunglasses and a bonnet
And designer jeans with appliques on it?
The dog that brought me so much joy
Left me wallowing in pain
Quiche Lorraine
I'll show her!
Do you see the key in my hand?
I'm gonna throw it in the lake
Yea, you've been so rotten to me
You take the cake
I'm just gonna lock the door to your kennel
And just you try and come back to me
Yeah, you'll see (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
You mangy mutt (Quiche, Quiche Lorraine)
(Quiche Quiche Lorraine) I'm talking about Quiche!

One time before performing this song, Fred commented it was "about a relationship that went to the dogs. In other words, Quiche Lorraine was a woman that loved the singer and then did him wrong. On another level, at the time this was released, there was also a book out called "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche." The title may be a reference to that.
@quamp "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" didn't come out until 1982, so, unless Fred had a time machine, he probably wasn't writing about it in 1980.<br /> <br /> Also, Fred was never particularly interested in the 80s stereotypes of masculinity that book was about. 50s stereotypes of masculinity, sure, those are funny, but that's a different story.<br /> <br /> Also, there is almost certainly no woman who done Fred wrong. Did you somehow miss fact that Fred is gay? Nobody in his life did. He's talked about how he tried to come out at 14 but everyone already knew.
