RED EYE SPECIAL

Well you drag yourself in stumblin’, you hear that sweet voice ring
“Be there honey, want a cup a joe?” and
Ya nod, tiptoe ‘cross the floor
Trippin’ cracks, slam 'cross a table, then flash those pearly whites
Starched white blouse, name tag says Cherry, “Whatcha pleasure handsome man?”
Words come slow in the early morning, gotta sometimes catch as catch can

Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, plus a great big hunka cherry pie to go

Yonder comes Sweet Cherry, all perfumy, hips in gear
Red-headed got that flirty way that brings a man to tears
In dreams ya'd act so boldly, cop a feel, and take her hand
Watch her skate 'cross the floor like a cat, so slight, tight, and tanned

Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special plus a great big hunka cherry pie to go

If you’re ever in Naw'lins, you come on in for a bite
They require shoes and shirts each mornin’, noon, and every night
But watch your tongue or by the collar get takin’ to town
Old man’s behind the bar, boys, meanest dude ’round.

Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and a great big hunka cherry pie to go

Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and that cuppa joe
Want the Red-eye special, and a great big hunka cherry pie to go
