Holiday Inn (BBC Sounds For Saturday / 29th April 1972) - Elton John

Lyrics by：Bernie Taupin

Composed by：Elton John

Boston at last and the plane's touching down

Our hostess is handing the hot towels around

From a terminal gate to a black limousine

It's a ten-minute ride to the Holiday Inn

Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired

Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired

Kicking your heels 'til the time comes around

To pick up your bags and head out of town

Slow down Joe I'm a rock-and-roll man

I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands

You ain't seen nothing 'til you've been

In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn

Oh I don't even know if it's Cleveland or Maine

With the buildings as big and rooms just the same

And the TV don't work and the French fries are cold

And room service closed about an hour ago

Slow down Joe I'm a rock-and-roll man

I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands

And you ain't seen nothing 'til you've been

In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn

Slow down Joe I'm a rock-and-roll man

I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands

You ain't seen nothing 'til you've been

In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn
