But it was not so bad
Didn’t hurt overmuch
Try not to look so sad
We’ll stay right in touch

Chorus:

Greetings from Hotel Hell
Where the weather’s hot
But all is well

Couldn’t find a menu at the coffee shop
So I gave the waitress her choice
“Any old tea you can bring to me”
Were the words that came from my voice

The waitress turns with a devious smile
I learned this after the fact
For her wicked brew stole a piece of my soul
She ain’t ever gonna give it back

[chorus]

Walked on home, feeling pretty low
Wicked tea flowing through my veins
Gotta find a way to reverse her curse
And get free of these rusty chains

At that moment I did recall
A piece of chocolate in my sack
Given to me by her fair-skinned twin
It will get me my whole soul back

Eat that cocoa and play a song,
A big elk’s footprints did say
But you’ll have to wander for 40 odd days
Its the price that I have to pay

[chorus]
