I was workin' in a diner down on Highway 66 My boss, who was a walking one-liner, supplied 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 on my 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 my life 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 back door with my sweet roll 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 I kept waitin' on my tables While waiting for the tables to turn The comedian cowboy that stank of stables Got me yearnin' for the wiener to burn My days ought'a be shinin' bright Just like eggs sunny-side up So I finally put my foot down And tied him up with an apron Explaining that this waitress Just went from zero to b**h In three-point-seven 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 workin' in a diner I left the joker in the kitchen with a song A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips Whoa whoa whoa whoa I'm gonna let it show A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips Let him stare and see if I care So much fun with my cinnamon (cinnamon cinnamon cinnamon) A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips Hey hey yay yay I'm gonna let it stay A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips We're almost done Though we've just begun to have some fun with my cinnamon bun To have some fun with my cinnamon bun
