The quietest diner that you've ever seen
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop! Oh, yeah! Shoo-wop, shoo-wop! The waitress pours the coffee, black and sweet! (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop!) There's a heavy pair of boots dragging on the street! Jimmy taps his spoon against the porcelain cup. (He never looks up, no he never looks up!) The fluorescent light is buzzing like a bee. He's ordering the cherry pie at table three! He’s folding up his napkin into tiny little squares. Staring at the ketchup like nobody even cares! Oh! Wipe the Formica clean! (Wipe it clean, girls!) It’s the quietest diner that you've ever seen! (Ba-da-da-da!) Keep the jukebox playing, keep the rhythm tight! 'Cause somebody's leaving out the back tonight! Yeah, yeah, yeah! (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop!) The little bell rings on the heavy glass door. (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop!) A drop of red ketchup falls onto the floor. A man in a trench coat is shaking off the rain. Jimmy keeps chewing, showing no pain. The waitress drops her tray and looks the other way. Just another sunny Tuesday in the middle of May! The man walks over and he doesn't make a sound. Jimmy keeps his eyes glued strictly to the ground! Oh! Wipe the Formica clean! (Wipe it clean, girls!) It’s the quietest diner that you've ever seen! (Ba-da-da-da!) Keep the jukebox playing, keep the rhythm tight! 'Cause somebody's leaving out the back tonight! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Now girls... Don't you scream. Don't you cry. Just keep bringing the boys their cherry pie. Oh! Wipe the Formica clean! (Wipe it clean, girls!) It’s the quietest diner that you've ever seen! (Ba-da-da-da!) Keep the jukebox playing, keep the rhythm tight! 'Cause somebody's leaving out the back tonight! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Sweep the broken glass away! (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop!) Everything is perfectly okay! (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop!) Just mop up the floor! Turn the sign on the door! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
