From the recordings Sunshine Hotel and Sunshine Hotel
Lyrics
The Doorman
He’s the last of the old-fashioned doormen
Everybody knows his name
Greets the people as they walk by, tips his hat
And bids them a good day
His uniform is immaculate
Buttons shining on his coat
Can’t help but notice the gold tassels
As he smiles and says “hello”
All day, oh
Looking like the
Prince of Monaco
All day, oh
Smiles when they come
Smile as they go
Raised alone out in the country
When he knew his role to play was to
Touch the lives of fellow travelers,
And bring a little kindness to their day
So he hitched a ride to New York City
‘Cause he heard it never sleeps
Started working at the hotel
So many people there to greet
All day, oh
People come from
All around the globe
All day, oh
Smiles when they come
Smile as they go
People staring at their cellphones,
Makes him feel a little sad. He says,
“Love in the world is all around you
Don’t miss the only life you have.”
And it’s the only one you have.
All day, oh
Love is all around you
Don’t you know
All day, oh
Smiles when they come
Smile as they go
All day, oh
Looking like the
Prince of Monaco
All day, oh
Smiles when they come
Smile as they go
Smiles when they come
Smile as they go
