Tom's Diner (русск. Закусочная Тома) - песня без инструментального сопровождения (а капелла), написанная в 1981 году американской певицей Сюзанной Вегой, одна из самых известных песен этой певицы. Первоначально, записана в качестве первой композиции альбома «Solitude Standing» 1987 года. В 1990 году британская группа DNA Disciples выпустила ремикс, используя оригинальный вокал Сюзанны Веги.

Упоминаемая в песне закусочная считается реально существующим рестораном Тома в Манхэттене (Нью-Йорк, см. фото). Этот ресторан позже снимали в телесериале Сейнфелд.

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 /

"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 / And Instead / I pour the milk /

I open / Up the paper / There's a story / Of an actor /

Who had died / While he was drinking / He was no one / I had heard of /

And I'm turning / To the horoscope / And looking / For the funnies /

When I'm feeling / Someone watching me / And so / I raise my head /

There's a woman / On the outside / Looking inside / Does she see me? /

No she does not / Really see me / Cause she sees / Her own reflection /

And I'm trying / Not to notice / That she's hitching / Up her skirt /

And while she's / Straightening her stockings / Her hair / Is getting wet /

Oh, this rain / It will continue / Through the morning / As I'm listening /

To the bells / Of the cathedral / I am thinking / Of your voice... /

And of the midnight picnic / Once upon a time / Before the rain began... /

I finish up my coffee / It's time to catch the train
