Subject: RE: Lyrics: National Hotel
Hey, Brucie!
You got it. I do remember the waitress line:

"Oh, the smell that keeps a-risin'.
From the green-lit dining room,( greasy spoon)
An' I'm mad about the waitress.
An' she's got me howlin' and bayin' at the mo-o-on

or something similar.

Thanks, Brucie and Q - I had no idea this was an Ian 'never sell your saddle' Tyson song - but it is a canuck song, and Tyson 's about as canuck as you get!
