The Diner
Found this little ol diner
Tell ya friend aint none finer
Slip on down the road
Sit down take off a load
Waitress name is Red
Bun of hair high on her head
Can I get you some coffee?
Or a hot cup of Tea?
She says with a wink of her eye
How about it Sweetie Pie?
I smile and play our game
Every day it goes just the same
Today is like all the rest
I say a "sheepherders breakfast"
Don't bother me with a menu
Just a coffee and a piece of ewe
Her eyes twinkle, smile really big
Her cheeks blush red like her wig
She brings my regular plate
And not a second too late
Open up, slide down the hatch
Home cookin, there aint no match
Bacons a bit greasy
2 brown eggs over easy
Sourdough toast with melted butter
My heart slows to a sputter
But I feel real content
My pants big and baggy as a tent
One more cup of Joe
To gulp as I go
A wink to Big Red
And a tip of my head
She knows I'll be back
Cause she has that knack
Of a smile when it's right
And keepin it light
A warm friendly face
In this cute little place
No son there ain't no finer
Than my favorite diner
