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 quite side
Sleep tight tonight
"Oh daddy, oh daddy, the way life used to be ain't like it are"
