Lyrics

Fat Chance Hotel

Fat Chance Hotel

With the fly in my eye
It didn't take long
To realise
The desert sun
Might be good for some
Oh no, but not fot i

Fat chance hotel (2x)

I get bored in the brain
Ou there
Doing nothing at all
Some useless holiday
This turned out to be
The dinner gave me
The splattery botty

Fat chance hotel (2x)

Burning
All day long
I, i don't belong
Itching in frustration
This is not my ideal vacation

Fat chance hotel (2x)
