NORTH OF THE BORDER

WHERE THE CACTI IS SCARCE AND THIN

THERE'S A PLACE WITHOUT MUCH TASTE

THEY CALL RAMADA INN

NOW RAMADA, IT IS A SPANISH NAME

THEY BROUGHT IT WITH THEM WHEN THEY CAME

AND THOUGH THE SPANISH HAVE GONE AWAY

RAMADA INN IS HERE TO STAY



Chorus

THEY'RE LIKE A RASH UPON THE NATION

WHERE THE WEARY TRAVELER GETS TRAPPED ON VACATION

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE GOING OR WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN

YOU WON'T ESCAPE RAMADA INN



LA LA LA WHAT A RIP-OFF

TAKE A TIP OFF ME

LA LA LA...



Bridge

MEDIOCRE

IT'S IN THERE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD

AND ONCE YOU LEAVE

YOU WON'T QUITE BELIEVE

WHAT AN AVERAGE TIME YOU'VE HAD



Chorus 1

THEY'RE LIKE A RASH UPON THE NATION

WHERE THE WEARY TRAVELER GETS TRAPPED ON VACATION
