Lyrics

I'd like to get away, Junior
Somewhere alone with you
It could be oh so gay, Junior
You need a laugh or two
A certain place I know, Frankie
Where funny people can have fun
That's where we two will go, darling
Before you can count up one
Two
Three, for
There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together
There's a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share together
Looking through
The window, you
Can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people
Who wants people?
When the steeple bell
Says, "Good night, sleep well"
We'll thank the small hotel
Together
Pretty window curtains made of chintz
In our make-believe land
On the wall are several cheerful prints
Of Grant and Grover Cleveland
Go down into the parlor and feast your eyes
On the moose head on the wall
Perhaps you'd like to play the organ?
They tune it every other fall
The garden will be like Adam and Eve-land
No, they never did go in for carriage trade
They get what is known as marriage trade
Oh, when the steeple bell
Says, "Good night, sleep well"
We'll thank the small hotel
We'll creep into our little shell
And we will thank the small hotel
Together
Written by: Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers
