Hello there,
Okay, a lot of you already know this, but Tom's restaurant, which served as the exterior for Monk's, is also the subject of the Suzanne Vega song Tom's Diner. Since the song describes what's going on inside, it seems strange that Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer were never mentioned, seeing as they spend half their lives in their, y'know, just... talking. So I thought it would be fun to play with the lyrics to include the crew.
So here's the fulll text of the song - add your contribution! I've already added mine - can you spot it?

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 Instead I pour the milk
I open Up the paper There's a story Of a comic
Who had come Out of the closet He was single Thin and neat
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...
finish up my coffee It's time to catch the train
