This is based on a piece by Jack Kerouac called "The Last Hotel" (applause) You might think differently after you hear it? I'd like to dedicate this to Steve Allen, that great beat composer. The last hotel I can see the black wall I can see the silhouette on the window He's talkin', at a rhythm He's talkin', at a rhythm But, I don't care I'm not interested in what he's sayin' I'm only interested in the last hotel I'm only interested in the fact that it's the last hotel Deep, discordant, dark, sweet The last hotel The last hotel Ghosts in my bed The goats I bled The last hotel (applause) ========================= Actual "Last Hotel" below: The Last Hotel The last hotel I can see the black wall I can see the silhouette in the window He's talking I'm not interested in what he's talking about I'm only interested in the fact that it's the last hotel The last hotel Ghosts in my bed The goats I bled The last hotel
