Hotel Chambermaid

Graham Parker


When the lights are low you know I'm going to go to my hotel chambermaid 
I'm going to jump the garden and come on hard all right 
While the river's rolling outside the window 
Going to see her going to get love 
Going to shut the bellboy out tonight 

When the world is dead I'm going to make the bed with that hotel chambermaid 
She'll bring the coffee in the morning with a smile 
She don't ask me where I come from 
I crept in and I soon be done 
I just want to hide here for a while 

I ain't got a million dollars, no-one I can call mine 
But I'll push on cushion me in some way 
Ain't got no future at least that's what they say 
This girl is going to take those kind of blues away for a day yeah 
Uh uh uh uh uh hotel chambermaid hotel chambermaid 

Room service can you help me I want a hotel chambermaid 
I didn't pay my bill but I had my fill all right 
While the river's rolling outside the window 
Going to see her going to get love 
Going to shut the bellboy out tonight 
While the river's rolling outside the window 
Going to see her going to get love 
Going to shut the bellboy out tonight (3 times)
