You might hear singing in the morning
Sometimes the birds get awful loud
The linens are clean
An old fashioned dream
The bed is an eiderdown cloud
Away from the crowds
Because you seem nice
We've given you the best room
On the quiet side
You might notice the maid is moody
And sometimes she steals things out of sheer spite
And sometimes you'll hear the rumbling
Of her radio at night through the wall
She dances, she kisses the mirror, she dances
As she flops around her room like a whale on a sandbar
She's singing:
"Oh daddy, oh daddy, the way life used to be ain't like it are"
And we haven't the heart to fire her
The one who had this room before you
Didn't pay the bill and wrecked the place
I often wonder
How such a monster
Could hide behind such a kind face
It's that rat race
But you look like you care for fine things
It's so rare
I hope you can find everything
And if you want anything you just ring
I think you're going to love it here
I hope your going to like it like it like it like it here
We've given you the best room
On the quiet side
Sleep tight tonight
"Oh daddy, oh daddy, the way life used to be ain't like it are"
(repeats)
