"Handing around the hotel,
bar my reception chequered business tie.
Automatic pull-out hair
my tokens showing as I orbered sheperd`s pie
in straw beret and beard.

Acting a little offish,
her chairs and braces put me off at first.
Incogno Lady Nile
took me a while before I thought I`d die off thirst
and spilt my new career.

A former ballet star was she,
she said and worked around the clock -
over to block, round the corner just for a laugh.
She`d really meant to be an air-hostess
flying `round the world:
yesterday France taking a chance -
cheaper return.
Lay me down - lay down.
Lay me down - lay down.

I`d been a former lawyer,
but cancelled all my plans took a guitar course.
Soon found my hotel rooms
toombs for hire purposes by all accounts
still picking on myself.

Hotel room two-fife-six:
a song amongst the silky sheets of love,
oh what a date and middle eight
oh what room service.
Left without a cup of tea,
flight number one eternity -
never too late, never say fate
cheaper return.
Lay me down - lay down.
Lay me down - lay down . . . "
