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

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
3:00 AM - CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST
They went ahead and fired the chef

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
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

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.
