No Vacancy Lyrics


I'm livin' in a house on the other side of town
They're makin' a highway so they're rippin' my buildin' down
I gotta find a place, within a week
Or else I'll be sleepin' out on the street
Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)
Walkin' up and walkin' down (no vacancy)
I've been searchin' 'round the town (no vacancy)
No apartment to be found (no vacancy)
On my dishwasher's pay (can't find a place to stay)
I found myself a place but the rent sure is a crime
It's a cold water flat that was built in Lincoln's time
The paint is peelin' right off of the wall
Good golly, the bathroom is in the hall
Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy

I could budget myself, scrimp and save to get along
But it ain't no fun givin' up wine, women and song
So I'll have a roof up above my head
But under those conditions I would rather be dead
Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)
Walkin' up and walkin' down (no vacancy)
I've been searchin' 'round the town (no vacancy)
No apartment to be found (no vacancy)
On my dishwasher's pay (can't find a place to stay)
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)
Oh, All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)

Neil Sedaka (born 13 March 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American pop singer, pianist, and songwriter often associated with the Brill Building era of songwriting. He teamed up with Howard Greenfield to write many major hit songs for himself and others.

Sedaka wrote his 1959 hit "Oh! Carol" about his then-girlfriend, Carol Klein, later to become Carole King. In 1963, King released a humorous answer entitled "Oh Neil".

The Laughter In the Rain Songfacts says Sedaka's hits dried up when The Beatles arrived, but then he teamed up with the lyricist Philip Cody and had a a number 1 hit with "Laughter In The Rain." It re-ignited Sedaka's career and he had 6 more Top-40 hits in America by 1977.

Sedaka's voice is in the tenor range.
