Grand Hotel (Including 'The Blue Danube') - Live at Capitol Theatre, NJ, 1975
I thought that a white man, put most of thir music here
In the days of the uh, must be in the late 19th century
When they built the big buildings, like The Plaza Hotel, The Grand
Tonight we sleep on silken sheets
We drink fine wine and eat rare meats
On Carousel and gambling stake
Our fortunes speed, and dissipate
Candlelight and chandelier
It's silver plate and crystal clear
It's serenade and sarabande
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
Tonight we dine at Hotel Ritz
A golden dish with every wish
It's mirrored walls, and velvet drapes
Dry champagne, and bursting grapes
Dover sole, and Oeufs Mornay
Profiteroles and Peach Flambe
The waiters dance on fingertips
The nights we dine at Hotel Ritz
One more toast to greet the morn
The wine and dine have danced till dawn
Where's my Continental Bride?
We'll Continental slip and slide
Early morning pinch and bite
These French girls always like to fight
It's serenade and Sarabande
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
Les nuits qu'on passe à l'Hotel Grande
In the days of the uh, must be in the late 19th century
When they built the big buildings, like The Plaza Hotel, The Grand
Tonight we sleep on silken sheets
We drink fine wine and eat rare meats
On Carousel and gambling stake
Our fortunes speed, and dissipate
Candlelight and chandelier
It's silver plate and crystal clear
It's serenade and sarabande
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
Tonight we dine at Hotel Ritz
A golden dish with every wish
It's mirrored walls, and velvet drapes
Dry champagne, and bursting grapes
Dover sole, and Oeufs Mornay
Profiteroles and Peach Flambe
The waiters dance on fingertips
The nights we dine at Hotel Ritz
One more toast to greet the morn
The wine and dine have danced till dawn
Where's my Continental Bride?
We'll Continental slip and slide
Early morning pinch and bite
These French girls always like to fight
It's serenade and Sarabande
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
Les nuits qu'on passe à l'Hotel Grande
