It's two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
The onions are frying the neon is bright
And the jukebox is startin' to play
And the sign on the wall says In God
We Trust all others have to pay
And it's two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
The short order cook with the momma tattoo
He's a turnin' them hamburgers slow
Eggs over easy whole wheat down
Y'all want that coffee to go
He never once dreamed as a rodeo star
That he'd wind up here today
At two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
There's a tall skinny girl in the booth
In the back wearin' jeans and a second hand fur
She's been to the doctor
Then called up a man
And now wonders just
Which way could turn
She stares at her coffee
Then looks toward the ceiling
But Lord it's a strange place to pray
At two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
There's a guy in a tux and he stands
In the corner feedin' the jukebox his dimes
He just had a woman
And thought that he'd bought
But found he'd just rented some time
And he couldn't sleep
So he came back to see
If anyone else wants to play
At two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
Now there's an old dollar bill
In the frame on the wall
The first one that Rose ever made
It was once worth a dollar a long time ago
But like Rose it's beginnin' to fade
She's back of the register dreamin' of someone
And how things would be if he'd stay
But it's two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
The stoop shouldered man
And his frizzy haired woman
It's strange how their eyes never meet
He's playin' the pinball she's fixin' the blanket
Of the baby asleep on the seat
He's out of work she's puttin' on weight
And they never did have too much to say
It's two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
The waitress Darlene she sits
At the counter paintin' her fingernails blue
And the short order cook he yells move it
Or lose it and pick up an order of stew
But someday a rich handsome man'll walk in
And carry her far far away
From two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
The shaggy haired hippie he's finished his meal
And he's countin' the change in his jeans
Burger and coffee are 85 cents
And he's only got 23
He smiles at Rose and she winks back at him
But Lord that's a high price to pay
At two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
The baby faced sailor he leans on the phone
And dials the number again
While the guy in the tux tells the girl in the jeans
Bout wonderful places he's been
And a wino comes in off the street
And starts shoutin'
Bout fortunes that he threw away
And Rosalie's asking the shaggy haired hippie
If he's got a warm place to stay
And the short order cook takes a five
From the till while Rosie's looking away
And the onions keep frying the neon is bright
And the jukebox continues to play
And it's two in the morning on Saturday night
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
