Subject: Lyr Add: GET OFF THE TABLE, MABEL (THE TWO DOLLARS
GET OFF THE TABLE, MABEL (THE TWO DOLLARS IS FOR THE BEER)

In the diner on the edge of town, I know a gal named Mabel,
She'll bring you up when you're feeling down
Always ready willing and able,
She's the best gal around and she's got the biggest table.

Get off the table Mabel, the 2 dollars is for the beer,
Get off the table Mabel, the 2 dollars is for the beer,
The service is good; I would if I could,
But you can't do that in here.
Chorus
We were down town one night, me and my buddy, Chuck,
We were hungry for a bite, but really down on our luck,
So we went to eat at Mabel's, only cost us 20 bucks
I always try to sit, at booth number three,
I glide in the door, and Mabel waits on me,
And if I'm really good, she lets me eat for free,
Chorus
