A Minute On Your Lips

I was workin' in a diner down on Highway 66
My boss, who was a walking one-liner, supplied 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 on my 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 my life 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 back door with my sweet roll
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

I kept waitin' on my tables
While waiting for the tables to turn
The comedian cowboy that stank of stables
Got me yearnin' for the wiener to burn

My days ought'a be shinin' bright
Just like eggs sunny-side up
So I finally put my foot down
And tied him up with an apron
Explaining that this waitress
Just went from zero to bitch
In three-point-seven 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 workin' in a diner
I left the joker in the kitchen with a song
A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips
Whoa whoa whoa whoa I'm gonna let it show
A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips
Let him stare and see if I care
So much fun with my cinnamon (cinnamon cinnamon cinnamon)
A minute on my lips and a lifetime on my hips
Hey hey yay yay 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 my cinnamon bun

To have some fun with my cinnamon bun
