(Verse)
I'd like to get away, honey
Somewhere alone with you
It could be oh so gay, honey
You need a laugh or two
A certain place I know, sweetheart
Where funny people can have fun
That's where we two will go, darling
Before you can count up one
Two, three, four

(Chorus)
There’s a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together

There’s no bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share together

Looking through
The window, you
Can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people
Who wants people?
When the steeple bell
Says, "Good night, sleep well"
We’ll thank that small hotel
Together

(Bridge)
Pretty window curtains made of chintz
In a make-believe land
On the wall are several cheerful prints
Of Washington and Cleveland

Go down into the parlor and feast your eyes
On the moose head on the wall
Perhaps you'd like to play the organ?
They tune it every other fall

The garden will be like Adam and Eve-land
No, they never did go in for carriage trade
They get what is known as marriage trade

(Chorus)
Oh, when the steeple bell
Says, "Good night, sleep well"
You very small hotel
We’ll creep into our little shell
And we will thank that small hotel
Together
