No Vacancy

(альбом: The Many Sides Of Neil Sedaka - 1978)

I'm living in a house on the other side of town
They're making a highway so they're ripping my building down
I gotta find a place, within a week
Or else I'll be sleeping out on the street
Woe is me, I'm looking for a vacancy

All day long I'm walking 'round (no vacancy)
Walking up and walking down (no vacancy)
I've been searching '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 peeling right off of the wall
Good golly, the bathroom is in the hall
Woe is me, I'm looking for a vacancy

I could budget myself, scrimp and save to get along
But it ain't no fun giving 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 looking for a vacancy

All day long I'm walking 'round (no vacancy)
Walking up and walking down (no vacancy)
I've been searching '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 walking 'round (no vacancy)
Oh, All day long I'm walking 'round (no vacancy)
All day long I'm walking 'round (no vacancy)
All day long I'm walking 'round (no vacancy)
All day long I'm walking 'round (no vacancy)
