Bryant Hotel

(album: The Left Banke Too - 1968)

Bryant Hotel
Cardboard ceilings and mayhem
Nobody cares

Hours for sale
Broadway harlequin harem
Foot of the stairs

It's a sunny day
But through your window all the world looks gray
The cleaning lady didn't show today
Or so they say
But then you never can tell

Bryant Hotel
Fossils lie in the lobby
Biding their time
Midsummer hell
Sink-down sofa seat shabby
Fifty cent wine

It's a sunny day
But through your window all the world looks gray
A month of dear belated bills to pay
But that's okay
They never had it so well
At the Bryant Hotel
At the Bryant Hotel, now, mama
At the Bryant Hotel

Bryant Hotel
Elevator vacation
Hourly ride
Telephone call
Find another location
Credit denied

It's a sunny day
But through your window all the world looks gray
The cleaning lady didn't show today
Or so they say
But then you never can tell
At the Bryant Hotel
Ah, at the Bryant Hotel, now, pretty mama
Woo, hoo, at the Bryant hotel, now (come on, baby, woo, hoo, hoo)
Oh, at the Bryant Hotel (woo, hoo)
Babe, the Bryant Hotel
Oh
Ah
The Bryant Hotel, now, pretty mama
Come on down to falling
Mmm, 302
Whoa
Come on down, pretty, baby
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
