Gordon Lightfoot The No Hotel
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
And 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 the 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 flow
Down around the Hotel No
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
And 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
