G5

Down at the diner
Formosa Diner
The people line up in the evening sun

A5

They're wantin' won ton
They're wantin' egg rolls
They're wantin' plum sauce and the Peking duck

G5

But then the diner
Formosa Diner
It weaves its magic and they can't sit still

Cm

Up on the tables

                               Gm

Pirouetting to the hypnotizing beat

Cm

All inhibitions gone they're leaping wildly

                Gm

Seat to seat to seat

F                          Dm

Just what it is no one can tell

F                               Dm

Somehow the food just casts its spell

F                           Dm                    D(7)

But you can bet the patrons keep it to themselves
Watch it

Intro

Down at the diner
Formosa Diner
Diz "One-shot" Gojo takes a booth near the wall
He waits for Tanya
The lovely Tanya
He orders dumplings in a red hot sauce
But then the diner
Formosa Diner
It weaves its magic and he can't sit still

Chorus

End: all variations on Cm
