We don't get any too much light; / It's pretty noisy, too, at that; / The folks next door stay up all night; / There's but one closet in the flat; / The rent we pay is far from low; / Our flat is small and in the rear; / But we have looked around, and so / We think we'll stay another year.
Our dining-room is pretty dark; / Our kitchen's hot and very small; / The "view" we get of Central Park / We really do not get at all. / The ceiling cracks and crumbles down / Upon me while I'm working here -- / But, after combing all the town, / We think we'll stay another year.
We are not "handy" to the sub; / Our hall-boy service is a joke; / Our janitor's a foreign dub / Who never does a thing but smoke / Our landlord says he will not cut / A cent from rent already dear; / And so we sought for better -- but / We think we'll stay another year.
