Lyrics
I dread to know that diner's sign come 'round I dread to know that diner's sign come 'round Cause my hunger, it was let right down, let down Got the stomach pains like you wouldn't believe If got them once, you pray you don’t receive I’ll hit the road, find better cuisine, I’m on my way Well, the coffee was weak, the eggs were stone cold The bacon just lay there, lookin' mighty old Said waitress, can't you see? I'm in dismay She just shrugged her shoulders, turned and walked away [Chorus] Oh, that diner blues, it's a real sad tune Food's so bad, make a grown man swoon I'll keep on drivin' past that neon light, drivin' past all night Yeah, I'll find a spot where the grill's just right, I swear it by the day But that joint back there's a cautionary tale, every dish a fail A culinary ship that's doomed to sail, in the sea of disarray [Chorus] Got them diner blues, an appetite's curse That kind of meal, it just couldn't get worse Now this here tale of a diner gone wrong A culinary mishap, not worth a song Gravy like mud, the toast ain’t got no crunch You leave that place with a hunch [Verse 2] Soup of the day, more like soup of last week Take a single sip and you start to feel weak The pie had a crust that was tougher than sin Took a bite of my burger, but it tasted like tin I looked to the cook, said this can't be the way He just laughed and said, 'buddy, you still gotta pay' [Chorus] I got them diner woes, where the ketchup is sparse Where the flavor of food is just downright arse
