Formosa Diner
Down at the diner
Formosa Diner
The people line up in the evening sun
They're wantin' won ton
They're wantin' egg rolls
They're wantin' plum sauce and the Peking duck
But then the diner
Formosa Diner
It weaves its magic and they can't sit still
Up on the tables
Pirouetting to the hypnotizing beat
All inhibitions gone they're leaping wildly
Seat to seat to seat
Just what it is no one can tell
Somehow the food just casts its spell
But you can bet the patrons keep it to themselves
Watch it
Down at the diner
Formosa Diner
Tiz "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
Up on the table
Pirouetting to the hypnotizing beat
All inhibitions gone he's leaping wildly
Seat to seat to seat
Just what it is no one can tell
Somehow the food just casts its spell
But you can bet the patrons keep it to themselves
Now, watch it
