Thursday is pay-day so I thought I'd have some fun Go down to the hotel and find me some action They say that's where it happens They say that's where it's at But when I paid the doorman I knew I'd smelt a rat The band playing in the corner may be Clapton, Beck or Jimi No one seemed to care much someone said it sounded tinny Well so much for the good time then the rat began to smell I knew I'd hit the middle of Hotel Hell
I headed for the men's room feeling like a long lost pup But it was overcrowded with guys all throwing up So I crossed my legs and went back to the bar Someone trapped my shoulder Hey they just ripped off your car So much for the good time so much for the fun So much for my Chevy I shoulda brought my gun
Hotel Hotel Hell stand aside everybody I'm gonna rebel Hotel Hotel Hell if you think the beer is rotten You should see the clientele
When I got back you know my car had been smashed I went back inside to get my paycheck cashed Some girl came up to me and said How about a chat Like to read some poetry or maybe paint my flat She said I like your body but gee I hate your face When it gets dark enough come over to my place So much for the good time see you later Jezabel Show me to the door I gotta leave this Hotel Hell
I saw Frankenstein, Gargantua and Eskimo Hell Down at this place they call Hotel Hell Someone stole my trousers and tore off my lapel At this place out in the suburbs called Hotel Hell
When Thursday comes around you know I'm staying home Yes I've learnt my lesson there's no way I'm gonna roam From the room above the laundromat on the dirty side of town When the fridge is always full and the beers not watered down Where they never lock their cars or punch each other heads Spike your drinks with mandies or try to sell you reds Where Clapton, Beck and Jimi are jamming in the sun And the girls are very friendly I think I'll get me one You know I've had a good time drinking my moselle Forget about this place they call Hotel Hell
Hotel Hotel Hell bad place to visit and a rotten place to dwell Hotel Hotel Hell ain't nothing like there ain't no parallel
