This song is all John Lister. It's about Paris Hilton's father in case you were wondering.

We experimented a bit with vocal effects techniques. There are actually several vocal tracks working here.

We also had a ball with the opening sounds.

Lyrics by John Lister

It started out quaint, with some folks who said, ” Ain’t. ”
Not from the nasty lead paint, if you know what I mean
He paved his own way, with a waiter and tray
He could do it all day, if you no what I mean

The man you see he worked real hard
For all the money that he made
He rose up from the dust of Texas
To sit in somebody’s parade

He bought a broke down hotel, Treated it oh so well
That it started to swell, if you know what I mean
Although he slept on a cot, and he didn’t have squat
That damn hotel that he bought, if you know what I mean

The man you see he worked real hard
For all the money that he made
From strong and brave Antonio
That is the place from which he came

Soon he bought twenty five, and His business did thrive
He’s glad that he was alive, if you know what I mean
He was sleek and real neat, and his first wife petite
And his granddaughter squeaks, if you know what I mean

The man he worked real hard
For all the cash his children send
And if you ask his children, “Please.”
There is no money they will lend

At the Mobley Hotel, things are going so well
I’m not sure he would sell, if you know what I mean
And now he’s at his end, with nary a friend
But endless money to spend, if you know what I mean

The end you see it always comes
And there is nothing you can do
So enjoy life now while you can
Just like my good friend Scooby-Doo
