    G                    F9 
I'm calling you from the foyer 
C                Dm 
  Of the Sands Hotel 
          G 
Where the men and the women 
    F9                    C  Dm 
Are acquainted quite well 
        G                 F9 
And the drunkards keep on drinking 
    C                   Dm 
And oh, my room is cold 
       G 
I'm disputing the bill 
       F9                  C  Dm 
I will sleep in my clothes

    Em              Am     Am7 
And you, my invalid friend 
    Em                         Am  Am7 
You slam the receiver when you say 
    Em                         F 
"If I had your limbs for a day 
               C 
I would steam away"

  Of this awful hotel 
          G                   F9  C  Dm 
Where the slime and the grime gel 
      G            F9 
And I cannot or, I do not
