"Hotel Song," c.1965The, bass, the bass sings--beat, beat The bass from the bar at the bottom of the building, Beat, beat--the rhythm, rhythm.
Outside the window, wires tap together; Trolley-wires tap on a tin, tin banjo: Jing jing-a-jing, jing-a-jing jing-a-jing-a
Horn trumpets and airbrake trombones Blow in the street, in the street below Every horn has a time to solo-- Off key, off time, they all blow.
Above the building, high, alive Winged piccolos scream and dive.
The radiator plays a mean sax.
