Landlady

 

Landlady, landlady turn up the heat

 

Some of the tenants have said that they’ve seen you last May

But how can that be when you never have left 308?

 

Landlady, landlady turn up the heat

 

Your presence is felt in Victorian overstuffed couch
And the Walter King print
And the bill I receive on the 10th

Landlady, landlady turn up the heat

 

Dumb waiter, dumb waiter
Take us both up to her
And see if she'll have me or have my friend Ralph

 

An apartment house jock and I paid for my first and last month
The least I should get is a chance to see who owns this dump

Landlady, landlady turn up the heat

 

Dumb waiter, dumb waiter
Take us both up to her
And see if she'll have me or have my friend Ralph
