Lyrics

Sinatra + Mayflower Hotel = Jingle

Someone To Watch Over Me

There's some hotel staff I’m longing to see
I will decree it’s all about me
Someone who’ll clean up after me

I’m a cranky man who calls this his hood
Its understood I will always tip good
Someone who’ll wait on Mister Tony

I know that I’m not an easy man, some
Maids won’t cross my transom
Hey, open my room I lost the key

Won’t you people try to pick up the speed
My wishes you’ll heed, rent ain’t chicken feed
Hey you there, do this for me

    The last line absolutely nails it! The first time I heard this song was from the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus" and a woman sang it. It's one of my faves but I never knew it was a Sinatra tune! I really need to watch that documentary! Great job, John!

    This starts off excellent, and then just keeps rising. That last line is a brilliant summation of the Mr Tony lifestyle.

    Worthy of Marriott Points! One of my all-time favorite tunes, and now jingles.

    So how did Columbus's flagship end up in the Quaker city?
