  25677>I'm calling you from the foyer
  Of the Sands Hotel
  Where the men and the women
  Are acquainted quite well
 
 
  And the drunkards keep on drinking
  And oh, my room is cold
  I'm disputing the bill
  I will sleep in my clothes
 
 
  And you, my invalid friend
  You slam the receiver when you say
  "If I had your limbs for a day
  I would steam away"
 
 
  I'm calling you from the foyer
  Of this awful hotel
  Where the slime and the grime
  Gel
 
 
  And I cannot - or, I do not
  And oh, my room is cold
  And I'm envying you never having to choose
 
 
  And you, my invalid friend
  You slam the receiver when you say
  "If I had your limbs for a day
  I would steam away"
 
 
  I'm calling you from the foyer
  Of the Sands Hotel
  It's not low-life, it's just people
  Having a good time
  And oh, my invalid friend
  Oh, my invalid friend
  In our different ways we are
  The same.
