[Intro]
Alright
[Verse 1]
When the lights are low you know I'm going to go
To my hotel chambermaid
I'm going to jump the garden and come on hard all night
[Chorus]
While the river's rolling outside the window
Gonna see her, gonna get love
Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
[Verse 2]
When the world is dead I'm going to make the bed
With my hotel chambermaid
She'll bring the coffee in the morning with a smile
She don't ask where I come from
I just crept in, then I'll be gone
Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
[Verse 3]
I ain't got a million dollars
No one I can call mine
But I'll push on cushion me some way, woo!
Ain't got no future, at least that's what they say
This girl is going to take my Eastern blues away
Hotel chambermaid
Hotel chambermaid
Hotel chambermaid
Woo!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
While the river's flowing outside my window
Gonna see her, gonna get love
Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
[Verse 4]
Room service, can you help me?
I want a hotel chambermaid
I didn't pay my bill but then I had my fill all night
[Chorus]
And while the river's flowing outside my window
Gonna see her, gonna get love
Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
And while the river's flowing outside my window
Gonna see her, gonna get love
Gonna shut the bellboy out
Gonna shut the bellboy out
Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
Woo!
Get on out
Alright
[Verse 1]
When the lights are low you know I'm going to go
To my hotel chambermaid
I'm going to jump the garden and come on hard all night

While the river's rolling outside the window
Gonna see her, gonna get love
Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
[Verse 2]
When the world is dead I'm going to make the bed
With my hotel chambermaid
She'll bring the coffee in the morning with a smile
She don't ask where I come from

Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
[Verse 3]
I ain't got a million dollars

But I'll push on cushion me some way, woo!
Ain't got no future, at least that's what they say
This girl is going to take my Eastern blues away
Hotel chambermaid
Hotel chambermaid
Hotel chambermaid
Woo!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Gonna shut the bellboy out
Gonna shut the bellboy out
Gonna shut the bellboy out tonight
Woo!
Get on out
