Agreed
The song, not so much. There didn't seem to be any story here. Agreed. I was looking at it more as an invitation from the singer to singee to check out the restaurant rather than a story with the place as a back drop setting.
How did it get its name? That's an interesting story, but I didn't think lyrics would be the best approach to telling it, but maybe it could.
http://www.cabbagesandcondoms.com/about_background.php
Are there condoms on the table? Rubber trees as part of the décor? I assume you are wanting this information in the lyrics, but if it doesn't get there, they give condoms after the meal instead of after dinner mints and they have the condom-themed decor and products in the gift shop

....so in all, maybe the song is told from the wrong point of view. Maybe it should be from a customer who visited telling what he saw/experienced....or if not the wrong POV, the wrong emphasis on the details

I notice now the details in V2 could be about any Thai restaurant, whereas it should be more about what makes C&C unique.....Then again, it wouldn't make it more of a story by changing the details about the restaurant. :?

Thanks for the listen and feedback. :D

Maybe you’re in the mood for a treat
And Bangkok has so many sites to see
You’re just passing through; don’t want nothing bad to happen to you
You just want a safe place to eat

Chorus
Welcome to
Cabbages & Condoms x3
A family planning restaurant
Cabbages & Condoms x2
Our food is guaranteed to not cause pregnancy
Cabbages & Condoms is a very safe place to eat
Cabbages & Condoms is a very safe place to eat

Maybe you’re in the mood for something sweet
Have you ever tried Thai ice milk tea?
Thai food on your plate will put a smile on your face
You just sit and rest those weary feet

Chorus
