[Intro] Come on in, the coffee’s hot There’s a little band on a wooden box [Verse 1] Red dress spinning by the counter stool Cherry soda fizzing, breaking every rule You tap your heel when the bass walks by I catch your grin and I don’t ask why [Chorus] Meet me where the checkerboard shines Turn me loose for a couple of dimes When the house lights blink and the last bell rings We’ll still be swinging like Saturday kings [Verse 2] Denim sleeves and a microphone You’ve got a rhythm that can shake the chrome The drummer snaps and the guitar cries Your little laugh cuts through the pies [Chorus] Meet me where the checkerboard shines Turn me loose for a couple of dimes When the house lights blink and the last bell rings We’ll still be swinging like Saturday kings [Bridge] One more spin, don’t let me go The room is rocking, row by row Count it down, now, one-two-three Put that little red booth next to me [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Meet me where the checkerboard shines Turn me loose for a couple of dimes When the house lights blink and the last bell rings We’ll still be swinging like Saturday kings [Outro] Coffee’s cold, but the floor still swings Diner doors close, but the jukebox sings
