[Intro]              [Verse 1] I’m calling you from the foyer   Of the Sands Hotel Where the men and the women Are acquainted quite well And the drunkards keep on drinking And oh my room is cold I’m disputing the bill I will sleep in my clothes [Chorus] And you my invalid friend You slam the receiver when you say "If I had your limbs for a day I would steam away" [Verse 2]   I’m calling you from the foyer   Of this awful hotel Where the slime and the grime gel            And I cannot - or I do not And oh my room is cold And I’m envying you never having to choose   [Chorus] And you my invalid friend You slam the receiver when you say "If I had your limbs for a day I would steam away" [Verse 3]   I’m calling you from the foyer   Of the Sands Hotel   It’s not low-life it’s just people Having a good time      And oh my invalid friend Oh my invalid friend In our different ways we are same
