NO VACANCY
(Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield)
I'm livin'
in a house on the other side of town
They're makin' a highway so they're rippin' my building down
I gotta find a place
within a week
Or else I'll be sleepin' out on the street
Woe is me!
I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long
I'm walkin' round
Walkin' up and walkin' down
I've been searchin' round the town
No apartment to be found
On my
dishwasher's pay
Can't find a place to stay
I found myself a place but the rent sure is a crime
It's a cold water
flat that was built in Lincoln's time
The paint is peelin' right off the wall
Good Golly, the bathroom is in the hall!
Woe
is me!
I'm lookin' for a vacancy
I could budget myself, scrimp and save to get along
But it ain't no fun givin'
up wine, women and song
So I'll have a roof up above my head,
But under those conditions I would rather be dead
Woe
is me!
I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' round
Walkin' up and walkin' down
I've been searchin'
round the town
No apartment to be found
On my dishwasher's pay
Can't find a place to stay
