The Sweeper And The Debutante
I was standing by this palm tree just waiting for the boss to pass When she came up to me as bold as can be and she grabbed me right by the arm She says I got something that I want you to do so just lend me the key to 1-02 I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante This nothing too unusual No, it wasn't anything new I figured I'd pick up a little pocket change Walking her peekaboo down the avenue But when I got to her room she was dancing alone Had nothing on but the radio I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante I said now please don't call the manager I could lose my job if you do I'll be back in an hour or two To walk your peekaboo down the avenue She says ‘you silly sweeper, my daddy owns this hotel' And he owns the manager too so Come in through that door and tell me more About that peekaboo Well before I knew it was happening And my clothes were on the floor in a pile SongtexteShe said ‘sweeper, let go of that broom' You ain't gonna be needing that thing for a while She rocked me and rolled me to the bed slacks broke Lid a strange cigarette and said ‘sweeper, have a smoke' I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante I mean to tell you people I never, I never felt that way before She kept on asking me about that peekaboo and how bout a lil bit of an encore I said wait a minute lady, I gotta have something to drink She said ‘silly devil, I never considered to think' I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante Well about this time a big football toppy burst in on the scene He said ‘you dirty low rent sweeper She was a virgin on homecoming, queen of my dreams' He had blood in his eyes as he crossed the room It wasn't looking too good but he tripped on my broom I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante Well I didn't waste one minute I ran out of there I changed my name, I changed my clothes I even dyed this old curly hair That was one gal I will never forget It's been over a year, I ain't stopped scratching yet I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante Aus Songtexte Mania
