Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota 

But they were made back in Worcester Mass 

Of aluminum and bakalite and glass 



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 Waynsboro 



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 trooper's 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 rootbeer float a pepsi 

And be sure to save some room for some apple pie 

Better make it a-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.
