Room With a View

My room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
I say my room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
You look three stories up
See a path of blue
Look across the airshaft
And look into
My room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
Clap hands

His telephone rings
I take a nap
He leaves his place
And I get back
He has a coughing fit
And I lose a show
He rubs his chest
And I read Camus
Has a friend
His name is Peter DePonce
Got a collect call from Peter once
But the operator must have got the name all screwed
Cause he just stood there saying "who?"

My room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
I say my room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
You look three stories up
See a path of blue
Look across the airshaft
And look into
My room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
Clap

He reads the funnies first
Just like me
I don't go to church
And neither does he
I get drunk sometimes
Sing old show tunes
He talks in his sleep and says
Blah..blah..blah
He's spraying roaches
I spray my hair
He whips his dog
When his girl ain't there
Mine beats me up
And he calls the cops
Pulls the shades
And I get popped

And my room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
I say my room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
You look three stories up
See a path of blue
Look across the airshaft
And look into
My room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my room with a view
Clap hands
Sole American
Clap hands
Clap hands
Sole American
Clap hands
Clap
