I was working in diner
down on higway sixty-six
My boss who was a walkin' one-liner
supplied the burgers and the jokes for the hicks
My life would have been so dull just like fries
without a steak
if I hadn't had my daily cinnamon bun and coffee break
One of those moments he came in smilin'
What he said was a bit more than I could take
A minute on your lips and a lifetime on your hips
No, no, no, no, why'd you tell me so
A minute on your lips and a lifetime on your hips
When I went mad it made him glad
No more fun in my cinnamon bun
I tried to talk to the burger buckaroo
It didn't help when I heard him say:
It was your looks, honey, that made me hire you
but not the ones you've been givin' me all day
Oh why is it my life is such a pain just like coffee
without a cup
The sign in the window said: Don't go hungry,
come on in and get fed up
I went out the backdoor with my sweet roll
I thought I'd dodged him when he suddenly showed up
A minute on your lips and a lifetime on your hips
No, no, no, no, why'd you tell me so
A minute on your lips and a lifetime on your hips
When I went mad it made him glad
No more fun in my cinnamon bun
Solo
I kept waiting on my tables
while waiting for the tables to turn
The comedian cowby, that stink of stables
got me yearnin' for the wiener to burn
My days ought to be shinin' bright just like
eggs sunny side up
So I finally put my foot down
and tied him up with a apron
explaining that this waitress just
went from zero to bitch in 3,7 seconds just
because of his disrespectful treatment
and bumper sticker wisdoms
Eat this too I said and fed the sinner six
or seven cinnamon buns at once
I used to be working in a diner
left a joker in the kitchen with a song
A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips
Woh woh woh woh, I'm gonna let it show
A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips
Let them stare, see if I care
It's so much fun with a cinnamon, cinnamon, cinnam
