Tom’s Diner Lyrics
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 1: Britney Spears]
I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in
[Refrain: Britney Spears]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
"It is always nice to see you,"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
Instead, I pour the milk
[Refrain: Britney Spears]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Bridge: Giorgio Moroder]
Everybody's welcome
Come on, come on in
Sit yourself down
The funnies never ends
Love is the drug
That makes you want to drink
Till the morning after
About
Legendary 75-year old Italian producer Giorgio Moroder was approached by Britney Spears to team up and cover Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner”.
She wanted to redo ‘Tom’s Diner’ — that was something she wanted to do — and she asked me if I was interested in producing it and having it on my album, and I loved the idea.
Moroder talks more about the production in this interview with Yahoo! Music.

This song came out when I was 6 years old. I was listening to it one day in my car, and called my manager and said hey this song is cool, so I recorded it, but forgot until my phone pulled it up the other day and I was like, damn forgot about that. Either way, great song!"
