Gimme a 1

And gimme a 2

Gimme a 3

Thursday is payday 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 tapped 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, Jezebel

Show me to the door, I got to leave this Hotel Hell

I saw Frankenstein, Gargantua and Eskimo Nell

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 my room above the laundromat on the dirty side of town

When the fridge is always full and the beer's not watered down

Where they never lock their cars or punch each other's heads

Or 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 it, there ain't no parallel

Hotel, Hotel Hell

Stand aside, everybody, I'm gonna rebel

Hotel, Hotel Hell

Goddammit, check the clientele

Hotel, Hotel Hell

Hotel, Hotel Hell

Hotel, Hotel Hell

Hotel, Hotel Hell
