There's a diner down on 9th Street
Makes the best hot *
And it makes me glad, so glad
To be back in NYC
There's a waitress
With false eyelashes
She looks just like my mother
As she leans over
To take my order
She whispers in my ear:
"It's so good to have you back.
It's so good to have you back."
People line up
Sometimes for hours
So they can get a table
They talk so loudly
Look at their faces
Every shape and size represented
I used to go there on my own a lot
Or with my close girlfriend
Over coffee and pierogi
Our hearts began to mend.
It's so good to have you back
at Veselka
It's so good to have you back.
See the years passing by
Veselka still makes the oldest recipes
As a new year begins
I'll take my lover
Who's sitting here
Right next to me
Behind the counter
Big Ukrainian men
Flirt with East Village girls
Flip the home fries, stoke the home fires
That in the homeland burn.
It's so good to have you back
at Veselka
It's so good to have you back.
