Waits, Tom - Eggs And Sausage (In A Cadillac With Susan Michelson) Lyrics
Nighthawks at the diner of Emma's Forty-Niner
There's a rendezvous of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
All the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs
Now the paper's been read, now the waitress said
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
What kind of pie? Yeah...'
It's a graveyard charade, it's a late shift masquerade
And it's two for a quarter, dime for a dance
Woolworth's rhinestone diamond earrings and a sideways glance
Now the register rings, now the waitress sings
Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
What kind of pie? Yeah
Now well, the classified section offers no direction
It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
Now the touch of your fingers lingers burning in my memory
I've been eighty-sixed from your scheme
Now I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
Now I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair
Now the lead pipe morning falls, now the waitress calls
'Eggs and sausage, another side of toast
Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
Now what kind of pie?'
À la mode if you will
Just come in and join the crowd
Had some time to kill, yeah
You see, I just come in to join the crowd
Had some time to kill
Just come in to join the crowd
Cause I had some time to kill

Waits, Tom Eggs And Sausage (In A Cadillac With Susan Michelson) Comments
I had a late night job delivering newspapers with my car around three in the morning this album was played on the car's radio, I ran out and bought it the next day!
“Coffee wasn’t strong enough to defend itself.” Jesus
downtown reno........ LONG GONE !!!!!!!!.....rockettebob
Miss ya Joe!
this makes me cry
Who's here because they're having eggs & sausage? We are!
sorry , but this is a jazz or blues song...?
It's two for a quarter, dime for a dance
Woolworth rhinestone diamond earrings... and a sideways glance
I personally think: this is the coolest fucking thing ever laid down on tape. Tom is the singer-songwriter. He takes multiple genres, and interprets them in his own way.Jack Kerouac combined with John Coltrane.
I dare you, to call this man a phony, or an un-genuine artist. I fucking dare you.
This album is a hundred pounds of cement ....with wings
Tom Waits .... forever
Your lyrics are like a valium with a shot of whisky
dose me
I love my brother !!! You are the way i feel when im so drunk and my old lady dont understand!!! LOve you man!!
i like the part where his veal cutlet came down and beat the shit out of his cup of coffee...
but the coffee wasn't strong enough to defend itself
What an album.. this is a double shot of class, neat.
I once made myself a dinner of eggs and sausage, with a side of toast, while listening to this song. I was in a semi shabby beachside apt. in San Diego. Susan and the Cadillac were nowhere to be seen.
They were looking over your shoulder. 😉
oh my god , tellement puissant
My favorite TW vocal
intro: I was always eh, kinda want to like consider myself kind of a pioneer of the palette
A restaurateur if you will
I've wined, dined, sipped and supped in some of the most demonstrably beamer
Epitomable bistros in the Los Angles metropolitan region
Yeah, I've had strange looking patty melts at Norms
I've had dangerous veal cutlets at the Copper Penny
Well what you get is a breaded salsbury steak in a shake-n-bake
And topped with a provocative sauce of Velveeta and uh, half-n-half
Smothered with Campbell's tomato soup
See I have kinda of a uh...well I order my veal cutlet
Christ it left the plate and it walked down to the end of the counter
Waitress, ? she's wearing those rhinestone glasses with the little pearl thing clipped on the sweater
My veal cutlet come down, tried to beat the shit out of my cup of coffee
Coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself
I love the song, but my favorite part is this intro.
I loved breakfast at Norms, and late night meals at the Copper Penny, not that copper Penny
It sounds like Tom Waits has been there!
"vegan eggs and sausage"
Absolutely brilliant...
Favourite Tom Waits song. Hands down
Glad they kept the introduction
Same here.
Favorite music/comedy record of all time hands down
i got it on vinyl
Me too, I paid up
for it, had to own it.
The cafe concept.
Me 2...
Me too , well worn.
Dem feels
Fucking brilliant.
Tom Waits for no man....
Tom Waits lifts weights while he waits forever...
Tom Waits, the last of the beat poets.
No doubt.
And, IMHGO, the greatest
Dang straight
just perfect...
"It's story time, agaiiiiinnnnnn!"
leche con carne
This is just too good <3 0:00
Coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself. Lol
