You kids stay off my lawn!
On a dark P A highway, cool wind in my hairThe Penn Stater hotel, which is run by the college, has life size Paterno pictures up in their bar.
Warm smell of pig skin, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There he stood in the doorway
I heard the campus bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven, but they've made it Hell'
Then he lit up a candle and he showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel Joe Paterno
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel Joe Paterno
Any time of year (any time of year) you won't see anything here
His mind victory-twisted, he got the Defensive Coach
who's got a lot of pretty, little boys, that he keeps close
How they dance in the showers, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the AD
Please investigate '
He said, 'we haven't had the truth in here since win four oh eight'
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel Joe Paterno
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel Joe Paterno
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Lies from the AD's office,
Lies from all Joe's little mice.
And he said, we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in the judge's chambers
They gathered for the trial
They stab it with their best evidents
But they just can't say he's vile
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax, said the night man
We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!
Welcome to the Hotel Joe Paterno...
