The Grand Reopening & Front Desk Agent (Reprise)

Here are the lyrics to the song FRONT DESK AGENT (REPRISE) from my rock opera THE FRONT DESK. The song  THE GRAND REOPENING is an instrumental.

5:00 AM - THE GRAND REOPENING (Instrumental)

6:00 AM - FRONT DESK AGENT (REPRISE)

In the hotel
At the front desk
On a busy day

Do your best
Help the guests
Please enjoy your stay

They want to know where to go
Just take Route 33
And they want to know where to get some lunch
We have a continental brunch

Thank you for your stay


2 Weeks Notice

Here are the lyrics to the song 2 WEEKS NOTICE from my rock opera THE FRONT DESK:

4:00 AM - 2 WEEKS NOTICE

My mind is made
Like a bed in a vacant room
14 more days
And it couldn't arrive too soon

I'm giving 2 weeks notice
I quit

Continental Breakfast

Here are the lyrics to the song CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST from my rock opera THE FRONT DESK:

3:00 AM - CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST

They went ahead and fired the chef
So now I have to set
The Continental Breakfast

Bagels, butter, coffee and tea
It's all up to me
The Continental Breakfast

Turn the Belgian Waffle Griddle
When it starts to beep
If you don't the batter burns
And I will have to scrape & clean

Lines of people here I see
Standing right in front of me
Wanting this and wanting that
What am I supposed to do

I'm through

Under New Management

Here are the lyrics to the song UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT from my rock opera THE FRONT DESK:

2:00 AM - UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Read the memo handed down
They say a new sheriff is in town
The owners went and sold there shares

There will be a new regime
Taking care of everything
You can't fight City Hall they say

Corporate logo from green to blue
What is old gets packaged new
It is just a business they say

It seems your gain will be my loss
The person I trained is now my boss
Now I know just where I stand

Under new management

Ghosts & Goblins at the front desk
Bride of Frankenstein wear a Gothic dress
Wolf man howling at another guest

It's Night Audit Time

College students want to use the pool
Don't they know they're breaking all the rules
I feel like I'm such a total tool

Can't you see It's like a show
Performing to the great unknown
It seems like anything goes

Famous Guests & Midnight

Here are the lyrics to the song MIDNIGHT from my rock opera THE FRONT DESK. The song MIDNIGHT is an instrumental:

Fans they gather in the lobby square
Standing around or sitting in chairs
Hoping to see their favorite stars
Body Guards they keep them afar

They ask me what there is to do
I show them a local area map
They sign it with an autograph
For You

I'm waiting for a counterattack

Cast Of Characters

Here are the cast of characters in my rock opera THE FRONT DESK:

Front Desk Agents
Hotel Managers
Hotel Owners
Hotel Guests
Hotel Customers
Housemen
Housekeepers
Fans

Libretto

Here is the Libretto to my rock opera THE FRONT DESK:

Once upon a time, there was a hotel. And at that hotel, there was a front desk. Everything seemed to take place in and around the front desk. It's where the agents looked over the activities of the day. Managers hung around to see how things were running. Owners would stop by to find out how the place was running. Housekeepers walked by the front desk in order to punch in the time clock to start their workday. And guests would check at the front desk and stop by for general information. Companies, owners, managers, entry level employees and guests will come and go. Yet the front desk will remain right where it is. The one constant in an ever changing industry.

Setlist Changes

I made song changes to my rock opera THE FRONT DESK. There will not be a song called BUCKET CHECK PART TWO. Instead, the song BUCKET CHECK will appear only once. Also, I added a new song called ROOM SERVICE to the rock opera.

The Second Shift

Here are the 8 songs to middle section of my rock opera THE FRONT DESK:

  3:00 PM - Bucket Check Part One
  4:00 PM - Hotel Owners
  5:00 PM - Reservations
  6:00 PM - Celebrity Guests
  7:00 PM - Walk Ins
  8:00 PM - Jacuzzi Suite
  9:00 PM - All Quite On The Front Desk Front
10:00 PM - Wake Up Call

Things might change here too. There might not be a BUCKET CHECK PART TWO and I could possibly move CELEBRITY GUESTS to the 11:00 PM Third Shift Section. I could also add an Overture/Underture instrumental to rock opera. I'll keep you posted.
