Hot Rod Hotel |
| I’m a porter and a night clerk at the old Hot Rod Hotel |
| I clean and scrub the lobby down and thirty one rooms as well |
| I wax and shine their boots and shoes, I brush down their crinkeldy clothes |
| I meet the buses and the trains and show you to your door |
| Bell bottom pants brought two boys in at six fourteen last night |
| Two girls checked in at ten otwo and I flipped on their light |
| The lamrods wife looks in their doors and finds one terrible sight |
| Those boys and girls got bawled up in their doors and rooms last night |
| A bloody flood could never messed these rooms up any worse |
| It looked like Moe had used this room to grease and breed a horse |
| Old gum and hairs and sticky rags, old bottles on the floors |
| Gobs of spit and condom rubbers on the windows, walls and doors |
| The lammy tried to make me clean up the crappy mess |
| Or else he’d fire me off my job and let me starve to death |
| I laid aside my polish rag and downed my dusting pan |
| And I’ve not seen the old Hot Rod nor that old town since then |
