Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
If you’re burdened down with troubles
If your nerves are wearing thin
Park your load down the road
And come to Holiday Inn
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
And come to Holiday Inn
If you can’t find someone who
Would set your heart a-whirl
Take your car and motor to
The home of boy meets girl
If you’re laid up with a breakdown
Throw away your vitamins
Don’t get worse, grab your nurse
And come to Holiday Inn
