Tom Bodett Songtext
von Mark David Manders

You and I we′ve had our problems
But I think the counselor's right
A change in behavior patterns
Could save the romance in our lives
So let′s load up the station wagon
Drive as far as we can get
Find ourselves a little Motel 6
We'll make love like Tom Bodett

That's right we′ll leave the light on
You draw the curtain by the door
I′ll say I love you in a monotone
Mmm and we'll make love like before

Bring a bottle of champagne
I sit down in the sink
Use a plastic cup for an ashtray
Mmm leave our trash for the maids to clean


I know you′ve had your reservations
About our love in the past
But if we lower our expectations
Maybe it won't seem like such a test
So why don′t you lock that door behind you
Come and lay down by my side
And we'll give a whole new meaning
To the words "It′s check out time"

That's right we'll leave the light on
You draw the curtain by the door
I′ll say I love you in a monotone
Mmm and we′ll make love like before
We'll bring a bottle of champagne
I sit down in the sink
Use a plastic cup for an ashtray
And leave our trash for the maids to clean

I sure am glad we took our marriage counselor′s advice
And came here to this Motel 6
It's kind of like our second honeymoon

I know it′s not the Holiday Hilton but
Well there's color TV and cable
And free coffee in the morning
And oh look The Karate Kid Part 3
Is coming on HBO
Well we better get started
′Cause you know how much I hate to miss
The beginning of a movie


That's right we'll leave the light on
You draw the curtain by the door
I′ll say I love you in a monotone
Mmm and we′ll make love on the floor
