Similar to some other tabs, but this sounds more correct to me. The C-Am is a quick five
on the C (down, up, down, up, down), four strums on the Am (down, up, down, up). Should
played briskly, like a Les Paul kind of thing.

You miiiight have seen one out in Minnesota
- - - -
Or maybeeee down by the sea in Sarasota
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
-
Of aluminum and Bakelite and glass mmm-hmm
- - - -
Liiiike a locomotive they were streamlines
- - - -
And the blue-ooooh prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
-
Out to Michigan up to Maine Ah-oooh
...
You may find a diner down in Georgia or
Carolina off the twenty by the piggly wiggly
In the country out of Waynsboro
...
Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State
You hang a louie off the thru-way
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
At the little gem diner off the six niner
-
Diner my shiny shiny love
-
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
-
Diner my shiny shiny love
- - - -
The crui-ooh-ooh-ser pulls in where the troopers always stop
- - - -
As we diiine over the chrome and formica table top
The cashier she always squints
By the gum and the bowl of mints
-
She's tapping her toe
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so
...
Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
La da di da .... (go nuts scatting here)
Better make it a-la-mode
Chorus
Diner my shiny shiny love
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
Diner my shiny shiny love
Dean Martin god rest his soul
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
There's a couple from the show me state
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate
-
Diner my shiny shiny love.
-
Diner my shiny shiny love.
-
Diner my shiny shiny shiny love.
