This is all a continuous piece, this is from the quasi-opera "200 Motels"
Which deals with the life of the rock and roll musician on the road
And especially dealing with the Holiday Inn motel chain
You have to imagine at this point each one of us is in own motel room
And we're getting ready to go out and score some nooky in this town that we just got into
'Cause you know that when you're in the rock and roll business
That getting paid for what you do is minute compared to getting nooky for what you do when you go on the road, so...

Right on

No, no, no, I'm not going that far, that's your job
So here's the deal
When you're in a band and you get to town like the day before you're supposed to play
The first thing you do is go dashing off to wherever somebody tells you is the hot spot in town
And you try and round up somebody to flip your leg over and do gyrations back at the hotel
So, this sequence here, the members of our jolly band are in the motel getting ready to go out
A little organ vamp in the background

Shit
Another night at the Holiday Inn, I can't stand it

If I would have gone to the club last night with Frank

I sure wish I could've gotten laid last night

Now that's the time to get laid

Aynsley always gets laid

Aynsley ripped off my chick
He ripped off Mark's chick

Tonight I'm gonna try a new approach

I'm gonna put on a cape here with fringes on it
I'm gonna put on my my new tight jeans

Here we go
Here's a little jar of golden tinsel glitter
Golden glitter
Three Dog Night uses this

I think I'll try this

Sprinkles it on his face
Gets him every time
He gets laid a whole lot, man

I don't know, man. What do you think?
It has worked for others perhaps it will work for me
