Half a day from nowhere,
  Hurrying to get there
  Ninety miles an hour
  In two Plymouth wagons
  The Avis lady gave us a smile
  
  Tom's getting uptight
  Max'll will make it all right
  Ken's asleep in back
  Artie's reading a map
  That's takin' us where we're heading to
  We should be there soon
  
  There's a sign up ahead
  Wash my face and get fed
  And that voice in my head
  Keeps sayin' I'm lonely
  But I'm only payin' my dues
  Holiday Inn Blues
  
  Had a reservation, best accommodations
  We get the word, they never heard
  We were comin' by at all
  See what they can do for me,
  Only got one room free
  Little bit confined,
  but if you guys don't mind
  We'll put you up in our bridal suite
  The view can't be beat
  
  And a fine view they got
  Of a new parking lot
  And I can't repeat what's in my mind
  As I lay back resigned
  And I kick off my shoes
  Holiday Inn Blues
  
  Time to put a show on
  Gettin' time to go on
  People call for more,
  We do two encores
  Take our bows and we're feelin' fine
  We got to unwind
  
  Want some coffee, but then
  This town closes at ten
  Looks like I'm gonna spend
  One more night by the light
  Of the late show
  And Charlie Chans's crew
  Holiday Inn Blues
  
  Holiday Inn Blues
  I feel so down
  Holiday Inn Blues
  What am I gonna do?
