On a dark moonlit midnight
Cold coffee mug by my chair
Stale smell of old croissants
Rising up through the air
All I see is my monitor
And its shimmering light
My head grows heavy, and my sight grows dim
I'll have to stop for the night
Then she posted an idea
I heard the Spider Bells
And I was thinking to myself
I can't give this a fishbone, here's a pastry... what the hell,
Then came another idea
About some Nipit Niplet Bra
There were annotations coming thick and fast
From 'bakers both near and far

Welcome to the Hotel Halfbakery
Such a lovely pair
Of such lovely legs
And such lovely hair
Plenty of room at the Hotel Halfbakery
Any time of year, any time of year
You can find us here, you can find us here.

Her mind is 'bakery twisted
She's got the Blue Heron bends
She's got a lot of nutty, smutty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in The Animal
Where the walls run with sweat
Some bake to remember
Some bake to forget
So I emailed the bakesperson
"Please send me my Tshirt"
She said, "We haven't had that size here since September '99"
And still those ideas are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to watch them at play

Welcome to the Hotel Halfbakery
Such a lovely pair
Of such lovely legs
And such lovely hair
They're livin' it up at the Hotel Halfbakery
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise
Bring your glaze'd eyes

Mirrors catching moonbeams
Black Oilbergs float like ice
And she said
"We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the bakers' chambers
They gather for the feast
They stab it with their Sealy knives
But they just can't bake the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax", said Rods Tiger,
"We are programmed to receive
Delete your account any time you like
But you can never leave."
(fading):
Plenty of room at the Hotel Halfbakery
Any time of year, any time of year
You can find us here, you can find us here.

       and appearing in the hotel lounge on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights....it's UnaBubba!

       It's about time someone did a crap halfbakery song. There are far too many croissants up there at the top.

DrBob, Mar 25 2002
  

       not a whisper from daruma and 1%. (hope it wasn't anything to do with me landing one on his chops that sent him off!)

       What's up with Susen these days? I know she busted her arm, but surely it's healed up to typing-capability by now. Maybe she got married.

       Read [Susen's] profile, waugs.

bristolz, Mar 25 2002
  

       bris... Well, hm. That's bizarre, isn't it?

waugsqueke, Mar 25 2002
  

       Maybe they just go back to their home planets after a while in the 'bakery?   

       I wonder what colour the sky might be on the planet Sealy?

UnaBubba, Mar 25 2002
  

       Magnolia.

st3f, Mar 25 2002
  

       As always, well done UB.

El Pedanto, Mar 25 2002
  

       Oh it's alright I s'ppose.
Reluctant (Oscar style grimace ridden, "I would have got the plaudits myself if only this bastard wouldn't keep upstaging me" sort of sour grapes face) pastry thingy for UB again. Does this man ever do any work at all??
Rods - In regard to IBD, I seem to get very erratic emailings in the discussion threads. Still that's probably just me.

goff, Mar 25 2002
  

       <<sulking>> I NEVER got an invitation to join IBD. Perhaps the group is anti-superhero? Or maybe, like Sorta Clause, you don't really believe in me? <<sulking>>   

       Fortunately, I have a spy ;-) From: IBD Digest Number 186 "What's the difference between yoghurt and Australia? If you leave a yoghurt on it's own for 200 years, it develops it's own culture."   

       I'm still laughing about that one.

El Pedanto, Mar 25 2002
  

       Greetings bakers. Daruma and I are fine. We thank you for your concern, and would like to invite you all to tea at our lovely home here in Santa Mira.   

       You will ignore the large oval cabbages in the greenhouse, if you all know what's good for you.

1percent, Mar 26 2002
  

       Yes, El Pedanto, me too.   

       I can thoroughly recommend IBD. It's full of ding-a-lings.

UnaBubba, Mar 26 2002
  

       ewe rang, Mahster?

thumbwax, Mar 26 2002
  

       All right. Taking my purple crayon with me ... I'm gonna draw all over your nice clean walls when you're not looking. So there.

1percent, Mar 26 2002
  

       Dr. Bob, I was responsible for at least 2 fishboned things in this category... but if you had a bad idea next toall those nice shiny ones, would you keep it?

RobertKidney, Mar 27 2002
  

       Hey 1%, how's the hunt going? Does the purple crayon come in handy for correcting billboards and advertising hoardings?

UnaBubba, Mar 28 2002
  

       [RobertKidney]: Strangely enough, almost all my ideas are fishboned. However, I keep them — depsite their next-to-shiny-ideas-ness.

NickTheGreat, Aug 07 2002
  

       What's strange about that. You'll delete them once you think of some decent ones. Meantime, pigs don't know pigs stink.
