Pull back them dark and dusty drapes
And let in some light
Tell the bell-boy come and get my trunk
'Cause I'm leavin' here tonight

I packed my bags and I paid my bill
And I'm turnin' in my key
And if those sad souls down in the lobby ask for me
Just tell 'em

I'm checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel
I ain't gonna live on Lonely Street no more (no more)
I've found a new love and a new place to dwell
Where teardrops ain't soakin' the floor

So, take down my suitcase and hand me my hat
I'm goin' from sleazy to swell
Give that desk-clerk a dime and you can just tell him that I'm
Checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel

Well, you can give that sad bellhop my old blues guitar
'Cause I'm only gonna sing them sweet songs from now on, yeah
And you can tell that old bartender he might as well close down the bar
Cause Chug-a-Luggin' Sally's packed an' gone

Through that gray windowpane it always looked like rain
But there's sunshine outside I can tell
Open up that door, I'm leavin' an' I won't be back no more
I'm checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel
Checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel
