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 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 the heartbreak hotel
Well, you can give that sad bellboy
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
So open up that door, I'me leavin'

An' I won't be back no more
I'm checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel
Checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel
