Artist/Band: Billy Bragg
Lyrics for Song: Hot Rod Hotel
Lyrics for Album: Mermaid Avenue Vol. II [2000]



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
