EmI'm a porter and a Gnight clerk at the Cold Hot Rod AmHotel
I Cclean and scrub the Amlobby down and Bthirty-one rooms as Emwell
I Emwax and shine their Gboots and shoes
I Cbrush down their crinkly Amclothes
And I Cmeet the buses and Amtrains and I Bshow you to your Emdoor
Bell-Embottom pants brought Gtwo boys in at Csix-fourteen last Amnight
Two Cgirls checked in at Amten-oh-two and BI flipped on the Emlight
The Emlamrod's wife looks Gin their doors and Cfinds one terrible Amsight
Those Amboys and girls got Cbawled up in their Bdoors and rooms that Emnight
Bridge:  D   Em   G   Emx2
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 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 out 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 dusting pan
And I've not seen the old Hot Rod nor that old town since then
