Rock and Roll Hotel

(Shel Silverstein)



If you ever get down to Nashville way

And you're lookin' for a laid back place to stay

You ain't got too much money to pay

I know a spot that's got to blow you away

Just ring the bell on the Rock and Roll Hotel.



Now the girl at the desk she got a lovely face

The bellboy plays guitar and bass

The cook boogie-woogies as he pours your tea

While the maids sing three parts harmony

They don't kiss'n tell at the Rock and Roll Hotel.



You can call room service day or night

For anything that's gonna make you feel alright

You can make your music sin your sin

Boogie your woogie till your head caves in

Till your head caves in, till your head caves in.



--- Instrumental ---



There's a king size bed where you can just kick back

You got your own private studio with 99 tracks

You got a grand piano to play your tunes

While Donna the dealer goes from room to room

With goodies to sell at the Rock and Roll Hotel.



We're goin' to hell to the Rock and Roll Hotel...
