Who Knows What Lies Behind That Door

Who Knows What Lies Behind That Door? By Elton Camp Held by women with very little voice Hotel maid’s not a vocation of choice Cleaning up is hardly a barrel of thrills It may be the only way to pay the bills That type work, of course, has to be done And the job is surely an honorable one All that makes it worthwhile, I believe Are the tips that the hotel guests leave But the maids face danger every day Some guests think they can do any way Especially men who are powerful & rich Want to treat the maid like she’s a ***** We are now seeing an example in the news This time the maid firmly choose to refuse But a considerable risk the lady did take By a report of the man’s conduct to make A good way to keep thing from going that far If the maid uses her cart to keep the door ajar Because when the offender is some rich snob The innocent maid could easily lose her job
