A Minute On Your Lips

I was working in diner down on higway sixty-six My boss who was a walkin' one-liner supplied the 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 and 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 it my life is 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 backdoor with my sweet roll I 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 Solo I kept waiting on my tables while waiting for the tables to turn The comedian cowby, that stink of stables got me yearnin' for the wiener to burn My days ought to be shinin' bright just like eggs sunny side up So I finally put my foot down and tied him up with a apron explaining that this waitress just went from zero to bitch in 3,7 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 working in a diner left a joker in the kitchen with a song A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips Woh woh woh woh, I'm gonna let it show A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips Let them stare, see if I care It's so much fun with a cinnamon, cinnamon, cinnamon, cinnamon bun A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips Hey, hey, hey, hey, 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 a cinnamon bun
