In my town, there's a piece of hell?
A little dig called The Chess Hotel.
You can move on in and be a small town slave,
Or you can get out now if your feeling brave.
Shake a little shake.
Give a little give.
Take a little chance on the run?
Don't let no-one forget!
Don't let mama regret!
Give your love and your sweat 'till you're shining.
Make the best of your time!
Don't you finish your prime!
Give your all and a dime 'till you're shining.
Well, there's Rachel down in room 103,
Had her second child at seventeen.
She's got every day to figure out
How the babies gonna do without.
Shake a little shake.
Give a little give.
Take a little chance on the run?
Don't let no-one forget!
Don't let mama regret!
Give your love and your sweat 'till you're shining.
Make the best of your time!
Don't you finish your prime!
Give your all and a dime 'till you're shining.
Get on out of the Chess Hotel.
If you escape alive, you're doing well.
