There's A Small Hotel
Mitchell Ayres & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
We'll creep into our little shell
And we will thank the small hotel together

Line by Line Meaning
I'd like to get away, Junior
I desire to escape, my dear Junior
Somewhere alone with you
To a place where just the two of us can be alone
It could be oh, so gay, Junior
It would be wonderfully joyful, my dear Junior
You need a laugh
You require some laughter
Or two
Perhaps even a couple
A certain place I know, Frankie
I am aware of a specific location, dear Frankie
Where funny people can have fun
Where humorous individuals can enjoy themselves
That's where the two will go,
That is where we shall journey, my love
Darling
My dear sweetheart
Before you can count up
Before you can even finish counting
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
For there's a small hotel
Because there exists a tiny hotel
With a wishing well
Containing a well where wishes are made
I wish that we were there together
I long for both of us to be there as a couple
There's a bridal suite
There exists a special room for newlyweds
One room bright and neat
A single room that is clean and well-organized
Complete for us to
Ready for us to occupy
Share together
And share together
Looking through the window
Gazing out of the window
You can see a distant steeple
One can observe a faraway church tower
Not a sign of people who
No indication of individuals who
Wants people?
Desire the company of others?
When the steeple bell says,
As the church bell chimes,
"Good night, sleep well,"
"Good night, sleep peacefully,"
We'll thank the small hotel
We shall express gratitude to the little hotel
Together
In unity
We'll creep into our little shell
We will quietly retreat into our cozy sanctuary
And we will thank the small hotel together
And together, we will express our appreciation for the tiny hotel
