Two men sit in the corner of a diner
|
Both of them look quite a bit like Carl Reiner
|
One of them is smoking even though the sign says not to
|
The waitress says to stop, he says sorry but I've got to
|
They tell each other jokes that they both know that they both know
|
They talk about real estate, prostates, Costco
|
And when they finish up they leave a twenty on the table
|
The waitress picks it up with their half-eaten bagels
|
And when her shift is over she goes back to Mineola
|
Sits on the couch, opens up a diet cola and says
|
|
I'm so, I'm so sick of this place
|
I'm so ready for a change of pace
|
I'm just looking for a new routine
|
|
So she spins her globe
|
And the next thing you know
|
She's living in Liechtenstein
|
|
She doesn't speak German, only high school Spanish
|
But within a few weeks she discovers she can manage
|
But there's not much going on except for banking and skiing
|
So she breaks up with the man that she just started seeing
|
He drops her at the airport in a diesel Mercedes
|
Thinks to himself I'm so feeble with the ladies and I
|
|
I'm so, I'm so sick of this place
|
I'm so ready for a change of pace
|
I'm just looking for a new routine
|
|
So he grabs his cap
|
Throws a dart at a map
|
And now he's living in Bowling Green
|
|
He talks his way inta
|
A job at La Quinta
|
Falls for the manager
|
Who's moving back to Canada
|
She's tried Roanoke, Rekjavik, Rome
|
Says you're really sweet but I just want to go home
|
|
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
|
One of them says I might take a trip to China
|
It's one of those things we should do before we're too old
|
Thanks but no thanks, bring me back an egg roll
|
|
Bring it back
|
Bring it back
|
Bring it back
|
Bring it back
|
