Landlady
Landlady, landlady turn up the heat!
Some of the tenants have said that they’ve seen you last May
But how can that be when you never have left 308?
Landlady, landlady turn up the heat!
Your presence is felt in Victorian overstuffed couch
And the Walter King print
And the bill I receive on the 10th
Landlady, landlady turn up the heat!
Dumb waiter, dumb waiter
Take us both up to her
And see if she'll have me or have my friend Ralph
An apartment house jargon I paid for my first and last month
The least I should get is a chance to see who owns this dump
Landlady, landlady turn up the heat!
Dumb waiter, dumb waiter
Take us both up to her
And see if she'll have me or have my friend Ralph
