In a wondrous wintry setting
The Hotel Overlook
Closes for the winter
So there's no need to book
Take your pick of rooms
They'll all be empty
Except for 237
Contains a mad lady
The kitchen is enormous
Every type of knife
And outside there is a maze
Which may just save your life
Every now and then
You'll spot two murdered girls
With bloodstains on their shoes
And their dresses and their curls
You'll meet Mr. Grady
Eccentric Maitre 'd
And there's Lloyd the barman
Who'll let you drink for free
Last, by no means least
The caretaker is Jack
He's got axe and baseball bat
And he'll give you a whack
Try the radio
No-one can hear your pleas
It's a ghost house, not a guest house
Staffed by dead employees
Have you worked it out yet?
You cannot get away
A little bit of REDRUM
Is the order of the day
Here comes Jack, he's screaming
In a haunted, murderous haze
'Time to take your medicine!'
You could always try the maze
So your only hope
Is that he freezes in the snow
You'll become caretaker
For there's nowhere else to go...
Inspired by The Shining.
