There's a little red sign off Highway Nine, Says vacancy in neon shine, Two black Cadillacs and a pink Chevrolet, Everybody's got a secret they ain't gonna say ! The curtains are drawn, the radio's low, There's a private little party where the wild hearts go, The bellboy grins, says, "You know the game," You leave your troubles at the door with your name ! At the Velvet Moon Motel, Oh, honey, what a tale to tell ! Knock twice, baby, ring that bell, Everybody's got a secret at the Velvet Moon Motel ! Shake it left, shake it right, Keep it hush-hush all night ! Sweet temptation, can't you tell ? Everybody's checking in at the Velvet Moon Motel ! Miss Cherry's got a dress like a red-hot flame, Mr. Jones says he forgot his name, Two consenting hearts and a room upstairs, A little bit of mischief and nobody cares ! There's a dance in the parlor, a wink in the hall, A velvet rope and a telephone call, "Bring your sweetheart, bring a friend or two, But leave your judgment in the lobby, too !" At the Velvet Moon Motel, Oh, honey, what a tale to tell ! Knock twice, baby, ring that bell, Everybody's got a secret at the Velvet Moon Motel ! Shake it left, shake it right, Keep it hush-hush all night ! Sweet temptation, can't you tell ? Everybody's checking in at the Velvet Moon Motel ! Now, don't go talking, don't you dare, What's behind those doors stays there ! A little romance, a little intrigue, Everybody's welcome if everybody agrees ! You got your room key, darlin' ? Well... don't lose it. Sun comes up, folks slip away, Back to their offices, back to the day, The banker wears his tie, the preacher his suit, But they all know the password to that little red booth ! At the diner next door, they all pretend, "Never heard of the place!" that's the line they defend, But Friday night, when the moon hangs high, Watch those tail lights rolling by ! At the Velvet Moon Motel, Oh, honey, what a tale to tell! Knock twice, baby, ring that bell, Everybody's got a secret at the Velvet Moon Motel ! Shake it left, shake it right, Keep it hush-hush all night ! Sweet temptation, can't you tell ? Everybody's checking in at the Velvet Moon Motel ! Velvet Moon ! Meet me soon ! Don't you tell At the Velvet Moon Motel ! Room for one more, darlin' ? Heh-heh... I thought so
