			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the road to Trivandrum<br />
Coconut oil in my hair<br />
Warm smell of avial<br />
Rising up through the air<br />
Up ahead in the distance<br />
I saw a bright pink tube-light<br />
My tummy rumbled, I felt weak and thin<br />
I had to stop for a bite<br />
There he stood in the doorway<br />
Flicked his mundu in style<br />
And I was thinking to myself<br />
I don&#8217;t like the look of his sinister smile<br />
Then he lit up a petromax<br />
Muttering &#8220;No power today&#8221;<br />
More Mallus down the corridor<br />
I thought I heard them say</p>
<p>Welcome to the Hotel Kerala-fonia<br />
Such a lousy place,<br />
Such a lousy place (background)<br />
Such a sad disgrace,<br />
Plenty of bugs at the Hotel Kerala-fonia<br />
Any time of year<br />
Any time of year (background)<br />
It&#8217;s infested here<br />
It&#8217;s infested here</p>
<p>His finger&#8217;s stuck up his nostril<br />
He&#8217;s got a big, thick mustache<br />
He makes an ugly, ugly noise<br />
But that&#8217;s just his laugh<br />
Buxom girls clad in pavada<br />
Eating banana chips<br />
Some roll their eyes, and<br />
Some roll their hips<br />
I said to the manager<br />
My room&#8217;s full of mice<br />
He said,<br />
Don&#8217;t worry, saar,I sending you<br />
meen karri, brandy and ice<br />
And still those voices were crying from far away<br />
Wake you up in the middle of the night<br />
Just to hear them pray</p>
<p>Save us from the Hotel Kerala-fonia<br />
Such a lousy place,<br />
Such a lousy place (background)<br />
Such a sad disgrace<br />
Trying to live at the Hotel Kerala-fonia<br />
It is no surprise<br />
It is no surprise (background)<br />
That it swarms with flies</p>
<p>The blind man was pouring<br />
Stale sambar on rice<br />
And he said<br />
We are all just actors here<br />
In Silk Smitha-disguise<br />
And in the dining chamber<br />
We gathered for the feast<br />
We stab it with our steely knives<br />
But we just can&#8217;t cut that beef<br />
Last thing I remember<br />
I was writhing on the floor<br />
That cockroach in my appam-stew was the culprit,<br />
I am sure<br />
Relax, said the watchman<br />
This enema will make you well<br />
And his friends laughed as they held me down<br />
God&#8217;s Own Country? Oh, Hell!</p>
