lyrics

The coffee and the waitress are hot
She caught me looking at her, singing “Hi-ho Silver”
I’ve been coming here about six months
My favorite stool at the counter, singing “Hi-ho Silver”
Ain’t got nothing but I’ve got everything to lose
Your pretty checkerboard dress, your pruney dishwater hands
And a nametag that says “Ramona”

My eggs and my speech pattern are scrambled
My corny jokes do not amuse her, little cream and sugar
Watch her lips as she recites the daily specials
Got me hot under the collar, little cream and sugar
Ain’t got nothing but I’ve got everything to lose
You’re the last dream pulling shifts of this man the wind blew in
On a bus from Minnesota

I’m hanging drywall for ten bucks an hour
I spend it all at this diner, singing “Hi-ho Silver”
Daydreaming about a life together
As she’s bitching about the weather, singing “Hi-ho Silver”
Ain’t got nothing but I’ve got everything to lose
These heartstrings you’re tugging on, Ramona you left the burner on
It’s 9:59 in the morning

I’m breathing Freon and smelling mop bucket water
Indigestion just to see her, little cream and sugar
I’m in love with a line cook’s daughter
Tip her a dollar and a quarter, little cream and sugar
Ain’t got nothing but I’ve got everything to lose
I could give you a ring but I couldn’t give you anything
So I’ll just give you my order
