A rosebud is a
Lightbulb is a
Gold, magnolia sandpit
The girl was nice when I came in
The room was warm and lamplit
Faintly humming tunes
In saintly common rooms
Smile above a sweater
At the front desk
Smile above a sweater
At the front desk - Smile
Disagreement in the street
Paperback along a crease
Who you gonna meet?
Shoes on your feet
Buy your breakfast ticket
At the front desk
Buy your breakfast ticket
At the front
Kitchen lady is a b**h
Look around for a switch
What's the pa**word
Brother will you lend a hand
Buy your breakfast ticket
At the front desk
Smile above a sweater
At the front
I guess I have to say
Parlez vous Anglais
Though I know you do
You kinda have to
All in a day's work
At the front desk
Voulez vou cuche
At the front desk
A rosebud is a
Quiet girl in a
Well-lit lonely sandpit
She's just the same
She's here all day
But you never said a word
It's like the
School disco all over again
It's like the
Dogtag on the wrist of your girlfriend
The twist at the end
was the existence of Ben
Where you can't go home again
Faintly humming tunes
In saintly common rooms
Smile above a sweater
At the front desk
Smile above a sweater
At the front desk
Smile
Another city and another common room
Playin' dice with dumb luck and a little tune
You gotta take the risk, f** the front desk
Get outta here kid and f** the front the desk
Easier said than done, at the front desk
I went to Paris and, uh
All I got was this
Little song and a mind full of memories
and a cheap pen from the champs d'elysees
