Lyrics National Hotel - Ian & Sylvia

National Hotel

All the halls are haunted
At the National Hotel
Snorin' and a-screamin'
And down the hall the demons dwell
Every night they’re knockin'
Come a-knockin' at my door
Callin' our for Shirley
She don’t live here anymore (She don’t live here anymore)
(Oh, get heart, boys!)
The radiator rumbles
He’s tryin' to get away
From the cockroach in the corner
Who likes livin' this a-way
And the smell that keeps risin'
From down in the Greek dinin' room (Greasy spoon)
Reminds me of the waitresses
And that got me howlin' and bayin' at the moon
The carpet lives on ketchup
And the light bulb lives on flies
The wallpaper pattern
Lives on anything it can hypnotize (It can hypnotize)
All the halls are haunted (Boo)
At the National Hotel
Snorin' and a-screamin'
And down the hall the demons dwell
Every night they’re knockin'
Come a-knockin' at my door
Callin' our for Shirley
Uh, she don’t live here anymore (She don’t live here anymore)
(Oh, I’m so sorry, Madam!)
