Munchkin Hotel from Heavy Sugar by DOOZY
During the filming of "The Wizard of Oz" in 1938 most of the Munchkins were put up at the Culver Hotel in Los Angeles, where Doozy plays every Thursday night. Their ghosts are alive and well. This song is a meditation on the legendary debauchery and madness that ensued for those months.

Lyrics
You may have trouble
You may have sorrow
You may have –
To work tomorrow
But I know a place
Where the dancin’s free
The Munchkin Hotel
Is the place to be
You could stay home
All night and snooze
Or you could put on
Your dancing shoes
Come on down to the
Munchkin Hotel
Where all the little munchkins
Goin’ straight to hell
Munchkins all got happy pants
‘Cause the drinks are two feet tall
Take a tiny step
To the floor and dance
And have yourselves
A munchkin ball
We can be gay, at least ‘til eleven
Jump and sway,
It’s a slice of heaven
Meet me in the lobby of the
Munchkin Hotel
Where all the little munchkins
Goin’ straight to hell
