It was a Tuesday
Lunching at the five and dime
Shaken crowd outside

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

It's enigmatic, but several possibilities come to mind.

The "shaken crowd outside" can't believe their eyes ... as you usually can be seen only in five star restaurants where nobody actually can see you!

Merry Christmas, peace and joy!

Reminds me of the old joke about what the leper said to the prostitute...."you can keep the tip"

Dancing a 'lil jig, hippy-de-hop-hippy-de-hop. Settin' fire to your piano, shades of Jerry Lee!

Us kids used to go to the 'dimestore' of which there were two near one another. Ben Franklin 'Five & Dime, and F.W. Woolworths' which had a great lunch counter.

The 'shakes' were inside though and it was seldom crowded.

Violence becomes you Martini. Why don't you take the rest of the day off and get together with someone who can sooth that savage brow of yours.
