Nighthawks at the diner, Emma's 49er There's a rendezvous of strangers around the coffee urn tonight All the gypsy hacks, the insomniacs Now the paper's been read
Now the waitress said \"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries, what kind of pie?\"
In a graveyard charade, a late shift masquerade And it's two for a quarter, dime for a dance With Woolworth Rhinestone diamond earrings And a sideway's glance and now the register rings
Now the waitress sings \"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries, what kind of pie?\"
Now, the classified section offers no direction It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud As the touch of your fingers Lingers burning in my memory
I've been 86ed from your scheme Now I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene Now I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair Now I lead pipe morning falls
Now the waitress calls \"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries, now what kind of pie?\"
