lyrics

They met in a diner at Fifth and Berliner
She was waiting on tables when he walked in the door
As he ordered a rare steak and strawberry shortcake
Both knew that the other was their sweet paramour.

CHORUS
He’s whisky, she’s soda, he’s Luke and she’s Yoda
He’s a birchbark canoe, she’s a clear mountain lake
He’s a hand, she’s a glove, two people in love
He’s a tall glass of milk and she’s chocolate cake.

Their friends were delighted to see them united
It was clear what an excellent couple they’d make
And everyone wore a smile as they strode down the aisle
They looked just like the figures on their wedding cake.

Well, the babies came quickly, their little feet tickly
The days filled with diapers and dishes and dolls
She quit her job waiting tables, he installed TV cables
And on Sunday they had pancakes for brunch at the mall.

There’s no more to tell you, they’re all doing well, you
Should drop in and see them if you ever pass by
Have some coffee and teacake, always fresh brewed and just baked
You can tell them you saw me, and say I say hi.
