"McDonalds is Your Kind of Place" was a McDonalds jingle in the 1970s that inspired countless parodies that quickly spread all over the country with minor variations. Many are known to have lasted through the 80s, but I'd be interested to see how many are still in circulation today, if any.
Examples:
McDonalds is your kind of place
they serve you rattlesnakes
they throw them in your face
there is no parking space
Next time you go up there
they'll serve you underwear
Mcdonalds is your kind of place
The longer version of the underwear part went:
They took my underwear
I really didn't care
they were a dirty pair
next time you go up there
they'll serve my underwear
However, very few versions seem to get ALL of that part of the narrative. Some versions have them stealing underwear and some have them serving it, but few get both. Kay Shapero collected the following versions:
from Bruce Holloway:
McDonald's is your kind of place,
They serve you rattlesnakes,
French Fries between your toetoes,
Hamburgers up your nose
Last time I went there, they fried my underwear
McDonald's is your kind of place!
(note from Bruce: I learned the above before there was a McDonald's anywhere around -- nearest one was about thirty miles away).
From Mitch Marmel
McDonald's is your kind of place
Hamburgers in your face
French Fries between your toes
Hot pickles up your nose
And don't forget their Martian shakes
