Lyrics for Song: Hot Rod Hotel 
Lyrics for Album: Mermaid Avenue Vol. II [2000]
  
               
  9078>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
  And I meet the buses and the trains and I show you to your door
 
 
  Bell bottom pants brought two boys in at six-fourteen last night
  Two girls checked in at ten 'O two and I flipped on their light
  The landlords wife looks in their doors and finds one terrible sight
  Those boys and girls got bawled up in their doors and rooms that night
 
 
  A bloody flood could never mess these rooms up any worse
  It looked like moe had used this room to grease and breed a horse
  Old gum and hair 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 that crappy mess
  Or else he'd fire me off my job and let me starve to death
  I laid aside my polish rag and I downed my dustin' pan
  And I've not seen the old hot rod nor that old town since then
