SF Song

think it was the click-click-clicking of the fingernail clippers.

Or was it the sound of laughter outside?

Or the pad-pad-padding of the chambermaid's slippers

But I'm awake. I'm awake.

"I'm awake and quite aware of checkout time."

Out and down past those stickers

On that chambermaid's cart.

Past the suits with wet hair at the breakfast buffet.

Through the lobby where the Worlds Largest Lemonade Stand

Starts off each day by shooting away a gun with a sign that says,

"I'm saving up for a harmonica one day."

And past the girl in the wheelchair who says,

"It's not mine, I'm just sitting in it for someone."

And just then there's a bus with a Marlboro ad on the back that says,

"Bob, I Miss My Lung." expect it says,

"I Miss My Lung Bob."

It's cause I paraphrase so much,

But I think it was "I Miss My Lung Bob."

You know, I think it was;

I think it was
