Lyrics for SF Song

I think it was I think it was I think it was The click-click-clicking of the fingernail clippers Or was it the sound of laughter outside? Or the pad-pad-padding of the chambermaid's slippers? But I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake Quite aware of checkout time Out and down past those stickers on that chambermaid's cart Past the suits with wet hair at the breakfast buffet Through the lobby where the World's Largest Lemonade Stand starts It's day off by shooing away a guy with a sign that says "I'm saving up for a harmonica one day" And past the girl in the wheelchair who says "It's not mine, I'm just sitting in it for someone" And just then there's a bus with a Marlboro ad On the back that says, "Bob, I miss my lung" Except it says, "I miss my lung, Bob" It's 'cause I paraphrase so much But I think it was, "I miss my lung, Bob" You know, I think it was I think it was I think it was
