| Song | Holiday Inn |
| Artist | Elton John |
| Album | Madman Across The Water |
| Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music:Elton John | |
| Boston at last and the plane's touching down | |
| Our hostess is handing the hot towels around | |
| From a terminal gate to a black limousine | |
| It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn | |
| Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired | |
| Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired | |
| Kicking your heels till the time comes around | |
| To pick up your bags and head out of town | |
| Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man | |
| I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands | |
| And you ain't seen nothing till you've been | |
| In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn | |
| Deleted verse: | |
| Oh I don't even know if it's Cleveland or Maine | |
| With the buildings as big and rooms just the same | |
| And the TV don't work and the french fries are cold | |
| And the room service closed about an hour ago |
