I'm a cheap hotel room
With a story to tell
I look pretty shabby
And I'm not very well
I'm used and abused
My paintwork is old
The owner keeps the heating low
And I'm constantly cold!...
My tap in my ensuite
Monotonously drips
I'm fed up with the couples
Who use me for naughty day trips!
They scuff up my skirting boards
And trample on my bed
They lounge in my armchair
But it's the children I dread!
I'd love to be modern
All streamlined shiny- new
Please tell my owners
As they haven't got a clue?
My windows are grimy
And my carpet too
Oh!.. don't go into my toilet
As there's a crack in my loo!
I want to be boutique
Urban and cool
With french windows, verandah
Leading down to a pool
But , alas, l am a sad little room
Like a rose that has blossomed
But now.. lost its bloom....
