Pattaya National Anthem

[horizons 1]

 

On a mad Thailand highway

Diesel wind in my hair

Bad buzz of mosquitas

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance

I saw a shimmering light

My head grew giddy, and my thirst grew bad

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

I heard someone ring the bell

And I was thinking to myself

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

She lit up like a candle

And she showed me the way

There were voices down the bar stools

I thought I heard them say

 

Welcome to the Hotel Calipornia

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely pace

Such a lovely face

Going short-time at the Hotel Calipornia

Any hour you like

Any flower you like

You can find her here

You can fine her here.

 

Her mind is Tiffany twisted

She's got the Jomtien bends

She's got a lot of pretty, pretty kathoey

That she calls friends

How they dance in the go-go's

Sweet summer sweat

Some joke to remember

Some joke to forget

So I called to the Mama-san

Please bring me some bliss

She said

We haven't had her here since 1966

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to make you pay.

 

Welcome to the Hotel Calipornia

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely pace

Such a lovely face

They're givin' it up at the Hotel Calipornia

What a cruel surprise

Oh my Buddha, guys

There are no alibis.

 

Mirrors on the ceiling

Lady drinks with ice

And she said

You are all just prisoners here

Of your own dear vice

And in the cashier's corner

They gathered for the cut

They grab for it with their all their might

But they just can't get enough.

 

 

Last thing I remember

I was running for the door

I had to find the highway back to the place I was before

Relax said the Mama-san

We are programmed to deceive

You can check out any time you like

But you will always grieve.

Exellent, great job.

 

All that is needed now is someone to record it.
