A Minute on Your Lips - The Real Group

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
