Neil Sedaka - No Vacancy lyrics

I'm livin' in a house on the other side of town They're makin' a highway so they're rippin' my buildin' down I gotta find a place, within a week Or else I'll be sleepin' out on the street Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) Walkin' up and walkin' down (no vacancy) I've been searchin' 'round the town (no vacancy) No apartment to be found (no vacancy) On my dishwasher's pay (can't find a place to stay) I found myself a place but the rent sure is a crime It's a cold water flat that was built in Lincoln's time The paint is peelin' right off of the wall Good golly, the bathroom is in the hall Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy I could budget myself, scrimp and save to get along But it ain't no fun givin' up wine, women and song So I'll have a roof up above my head But under those conditions I would rather be dead Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) Walkin' up and walkin' down (no vacancy) I've been searchin' 'round the town (no vacancy) No apartment to be found (no vacancy) On my dishwasher's pay (can't find a place to stay) All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) Oh, All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)
