Can she get you a “Diet Mountain Dew“?

Lana Del Rey was spotted working at an Alabama Waffle House, baffling the singer’s fans.

The “Video Games” crooner, whose legal name is Elizabeth Grant, wore the chain’s signature blue uniform complete with a bright yellow name tag as she took orders and poured patrons’ coffee.

While it’s unclear why the Grammy-nominated hitmaker, 38, was clocking in at the diner, she took breaks for photo ops with fans in the restaurant.

“Lana Del Rey working at Waffle House,” tweeted one customer on Thursday along with footage of the pop star on the clock, racking up 2 million views and thousands of likes and retweets.

Her summertime shift follows her first full concert in four years in May and the release of her ninth studio album in March, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.”

The “Young and Beautiful” singer is also slated to appear at a number of festivals later this year.

Most recently, she faced cruel comments regarding her physical appearance, as one troll called her weight fluctuations “worse than 9/11” in a since-deleted tweet.

At the time, loyal fans jumped to the star’s defense, reprimanding the hater for the crude remark.

“Lana Del Rey does not owe us thinness,” wrote one person. “Just because someone was a certain size at a certain age doesn’t mean they have to maintain that size forever.”

They added, “Bodies change. Weight changes. And most importantly all bodies of all shapes and sizes are sexy, beautiful and worthy.”
