NORTH OF THE BORDER
WHERE THE CACTI IS SCARCE AND
THIN
THERE'S A PLACE WITHOUT MUCH
TASTE
THEY CALL RAMADA INN
NOW RAMADA, IT IS A SPANISH NAME
THEY BROUGHT IT WITH THEM WHEN
THEY CAME
AND THOUGH THE SPANISH HAVE
GONE AWAY
RAMADA INN IS HERE TO STAY

Chorus
THEY'RE LIKE A RASH UPON THE
NATION
WHERE THE WEARY TRAVELER GETS
TRAPPED ON VACATION
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE GOING
OR WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN
YOU WON'T ESCAPE RAMADA INN

LA LA LA WHAT A RIP-OFF
TAKE A TIP OFF ME
LA LA LA...

Bridge
MEDIOCRE
IT'S IN THERE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
GOOD AND BAD
AND ONCE YOU LEAVE
YOU WON'T QUITE BELIEVE
WHAT AN AVERAGE TIME YOU'VE HAD

Chorus 1
THEY'RE LIKE A RASH UPON THE
NATION
WHERE THE WEARY TRAVELER GETS
TRAPPED ON VACATION
"HECK, YEAH, HI THERE, THIS IS
ROBERT BOB
HERE AT THE RAMADA INN LOUNGE
LISTEN, PUSSYCATS, I WANT YOU TO
DRINK UP AND STICK AROUND
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE PLAYING
ALL YOUR A.M. FAVE RAVES
I KNOW YOU LIKE TO DISCO DOWN TO
HEY, COME ON "BANG, BANG", I GOT A
LINE ON YOU, YOU PARTY ANIMALS
HEY, A LITTLE LATER ON, TRY THAT
SALAD BAR, IT'S SIMPLY
EXQUISITE, O.K.
HEY, I'VE GOT TWENTY-FIVE BIG,
BEAUTIFUL SHOWS FOR YOU,
DON'T YOU KNOW
I'M GOING TO BE HERE FROM, OH,
FOUR O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON
UNTIL I'M A MUCH OLDER
INDIVIDUAL."

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE GOING
OR WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN
WHERE YOU ARE GOING OR WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN
CHA, CHA, CHA, YOU WON'T ESCAPE
RAMADA INN

LA LA LA IT'S REALLY STINKO
THAT'S WHAT I THINKO
LA LA LA

NORTH OF THE BORDER
THE BORDER, THE BORDER
NORTH OF THE BORDER
THE BORDER, THE BORDER
OY
