Martin Sexton - Diner lyrics

You might have seen one out in Minnesota Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota But they were made back in Worcester Ma** Of aluminum and bakalite and gla** 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 Waynesboro 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 troopers 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 root beer float a pepsi And be sure to save some room for some apple pie Better make it à 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.
