Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album madman across the water<br><br>Boston at last and the plane's touching down<br>Our hostess is handing the hot towels around<br>From a terminal gate to a black limousine<br>It's a ten minute ride to the holiday inn<br><br>Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired<br>Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired<br>Kicking your heels till the time comes around<br>To pick up your bags and head out of town<br><br>Slow down joe, I'm a rock and roll man<br>I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands<br>And you ain't seen nothing till you've been<br>In a motel baby like the holiday inn<br><br>Deleted verse:<br>Oh I don't even know if it's cleveland or maine<br>With the buildings as big and rooms just the same<br>And the tv don't work and the french fries are cold<br>And the room service closed about an hour ago
