I was standing by this palm tree just waiting for the boss to pass
|
When she came up to me as bold as can be and she grabbed me right by the arm
|
She says I got something that I want you to do so just lend me the key to 1-02
|
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
|
This nothing too unusual
|
No, it wasn¡¯t anything new
|
I figured I¡¯d pick up a little pocket change
|
Walking her peekaboo down the avenue
|
But when I got to her room she was dancing alone
|
Had nothing on but the radio
|
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
|
I said now please don¡¯t call the manager
|
I could lose my job if you do
|
I¡¯ll be back in an hour or two
|
To walk your peekaboo down the avenue
|
She says ¡®you silly sweeper, my daddy owns this hotel¡¯
|
And he owns the manager too so
|
Come in through that door and tell me more
|
About that peekaboo
|
|
Well before I knew it was happening
|
And my clothes were on the floor in a pile
|
She said ¡®sweeper, let go of that broom¡¯
|
You ain¡¯t gonna be needing that thing for a while
|
She rocked me and rolled me to the bed slacks broke
|
Lid a strange cigarette and said ¡®sweeper, have a smoke¡¯
|
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
|
I mean to tell you people I never, I never felt that way before
|
She kept on asking me about that peekaboo and how bout a lil bit of an encore
|
I said wait a minute lady, I gotta have something to drink
|
She said ¡®silly devil, I never considered to think¡¯
|
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
|
Well about this time a big football toppy burst in on the scene
|
He said ¡®you dirty low rent sweeper
|
She was a virgin on homecoming, queen of my dreams¡¯
|
He had blood in his eyes as he crossed the room
|
It wasn¡¯t looking too good but he tripped on my broom
|
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
|
Well I didn¡¯t waste one minute
|
I ran out of there
|
I changed my name, I changed my clothes
|
I even dyed this old curly hair
|
That was one gal I will never forget
|
It¡¯s been over a year, I ain¡¯t stopped scratching yet
|
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
|
I was a sweeper at the Hilton hotel, she was a debutante
