sung by
Charles Carreon
I was born down in
Texas
Silver spoon in my nose
I tasted sweet senoritas
Hey you know how it goes
Then I went into
politics
Man, I sure got it right
Made lots of money
Made even more friends
It was a fool's delight
At last I came to
the castle
With the doors open wide
And I concluded without much ado,
Heaven's safe, but the profit's in Hell
Then I opened my
Bible
And it showed me the way
There was voting on the Senate Floor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the
Hotel Babylonia
Such an ancient place (such an ancient place)
There'll be no disgrace
Plenty of guns in the Hotel Babylonia
You can find terrorists here
Any time of year
Alberto is so
helpful
He has explained so clear
How it is that I'm invincible
How the story ends
How they give me
the power
How we do what we will
One voted to stay my knife
The others voted to kill
So I dialed up the
Congress
"We need money and time"
They said take everything you need
We're drinking Jack Abramoff's wine
And I hear Achmed Chalabi calling
From far away
There's so much money here
that we can make
Come and we can play
We're living it up
at the Hotel Babylonia
Such an ancient place (such an ancient place)
There'll be no disgrace
Plenty of guns in the Hotel Babylonia
You can find terrorists here
Any time of year
Baghdad's one big
blister
Filled with murder and crime
And I've spent everything the world will earn
Until the end of time
And in the prison
courtyard
We strung up old Saddam
But he died like an iron man
and on YOU TUBE he lives on
Now I try to
remember
How I got to this place
I'm naked as a jaybird
Facing some disgrace
"Relax," says
Maliki
We are glad to deceive
You'll be here another twenty years
Don't even try to leave
We're living it up
at the Hotel Babylonia
Such an ancient place (such an ancient place)
There'll be no disgrace
Plenty of guns in the Hotel Babylonia
You can find terrorists here
Any time of year
