I was sitting in a diner, eating scrambled eggs,
When some waitress in a short skirt showing off her legs.
I said, "Baby how you doing?" She said, "I'm doing grand,
But I'll be a whole lot better when you take me on a date.
Holy Smokes! (Holy Smokes!)
I almost choked! (almost choked!)
On the shoes that I was wearing, my heart was in my throat.
In my throat! (In my throat!)
Yeah I choked, (Holy Smokes!)
On the shoes that I was wearing, my heart was in my throat.
...
Well we dated for a while and she made me get a job,
Working in the factory with her uncle Bob.
But all that Bob could pay me was barely minimum wage.
Now she's standing with her hand out every time that I get paid.
Holy Smokes! (Holy Smokes!)
I'm so broke! (I'm so broke!)
I've been working forty hours but the paycheck is a joke.
It's a joke! (What a joke!)
I'm so broke, (Holy Smokes!)
I've been working forty hours but the paycheck is a joke.
...
Well I put away every penny, nickel, dime that I could save,
And I went and bought a diamond, I was on my way.
On my way to my baby, to get down on a knee.
Never could've been ready for what I was going to see.
Holy Smokes! (Holy Smokes!)
I found a note! (I found a note!)
Said she's leaving me on Friday, and that was all she wrote.
All she wrote! (All she wrote!)
Holy Smokes! (Holy Smokes!)
She was leaving me on Friday, and that was all she wrote.
