  • Ol' Babe Ruth, he was a drunkard just like me
    He lived it high, and he lived it low
    Staggered down the New York streets
    They throw him out the pub, when he raised a little too much hell
    And then he lay his big fat head down at the
    Gramercy park hotel
    The Gramercy park hotel

    All these hit men, look like organ grinders to me
    Rock stars on golden chains, little monkeys dancin' round their feet
    Well give me a little hat, little vest, and a little monkey bell
    And send my bananas baby to the
    Gramercy park hotel
    The Gramercy Park Hotel

    And all the publicists sing

    La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
    La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
    La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da

    And its so far gone
    And its so far gone

    Maybe this is just a beggars life, and maybe its all dream
    Maybe its just about kindness I should forget all my silly schemes
    Maybe I'm just a fool, but my fool shoes fit so well
    Snuggled up in my big fool blanket at the
    Gramercy Park Hotel

    The Gramercy Park Hotel
    The Gramercy Park Hotel
    The Gramercy Park Hotel

    And all the publicists sing

    La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
    La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
