The Chess Hotel

In my town, there's a piece of hell A little dig called The Chess Hotel You can move on in and be a small town slave Or you can get out now if you're feeling brave Shake a little shake Give a little give Take a little chance on the run Don't let no one forget Don't let mama regret Give your love and your sweat Till you're shining Make the best of your time Don't you finish your prime Give your all and a dime Till you're shining Well, there's Rachel down in room 103 Had her second child at seventeen She's got every day to figure out How the babies gonna do without Shake a little shake Give a little give Take a little chance on the run Don't let no one forget Don't let mama regret Give your love and your sweat Till you're shining Make the best of your time Don't you finish your prime Give your all and a dime Till you're shining Get on out of the Chess Hotel, get on out If you escape alive, you're doing well Get out now, get out now Get out now, get out now
