Diner

You might have seen one out in Minnesota
 Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota
 But they were made back in Worcester Mass
 Of aluminum and bakalite and glass
 Like a locomotive they were streamlines
 And the blue prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
 Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
 Out to Michigan up to Maine
 You may find a diner down in Georgia or
 Carolina off the twenty by the piggly wiggly
 In the country out of Waynsboro
 Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State
 You hang a louie off the thru-way
 And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
 At the little gem diner off the six niner
 Diner my shiny shiny love
 In the night you're all I'm thinking of
 Diner my shiny shiny love
 The cruiser pulls in where the trooper's always stop
 As we dine over the chrome and formica table top
 The cashier she always squints
 By the gum and the bowl of mints
 She's tapping her toe
 To the Dean Martin on the consolette
 Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so
 Side of fries a dollar
 Or the haddock plate two ninety five
 A rootbeer float a pepsi
 And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
 Better make it a-la-mode
 Chorus
 Dean Martin god rest his soul
 Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
 There's a couple from the show me state
 Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate
 Diner my shiny shiny love.
