The No Hotel

Gordon Lightfoot

Compositor: Gordon Lightfoot

Down around the No Hotel, look for me, they know me well
Travelers come and travelers go down around the Hotel No
If you choose the No Hotel, be prepared to run pell mell
Be another burnt out shell, you checked in the No Hotel

Down around the No Hotel, water there don't flow so well
Problems come and problems go, freezing shower say hello
If you choose the No Hotel, the bellhop never rings the bell
Why there's another ne'er do well, just checked in the No Hotel

Down around the No Hotel, look for me, the human shell
Strangers moving to and fro all around the Hotel No
When dining at the No Hotel, there's caterers who cater not
And waiters who don't wait a lot, you've checked in the No Hotel

Living at the No Hotel, just another ne'er do well
Seasons ebb and seasons flo down around the Hotel Ho
Snug in your No Hotel room, see the little critters fly
Above the bed sheets telling lies, you've checked in the No Hotel

Down around the No Hotel, look for me, they know me well
Travelers come and travelers go, it's the only world they know
If you choose the No Hotel, the bellhop never rings the bell
Now he's another burnt out shell, you've checked in the No Hotel
