Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

A Little Respect, Please?

A request from the Queen of Attirude, the Chaplain of Soul, the one and only Rev. Carol: the Hotel Melanoma version of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”…

oo) What I want
(oo) Black C ain’t got it
(oo) What I need
(oo) Do you know pink’s got it?
(oo) All I’m askin'
(oo) Is for a little respect when it hits home (just a little bit)
Hey Black C (just a little bit) when it hits home
(just a little bit) sister (just a little bit)

I ain't gonna stand this wrong ‘til its gone
Ain't gonna take this wrong (oo) 'cause I’m tough mama (oo)
All I’m askin' (oo)
Is for a little respect when it hits home (just a little bit)
Black C (just a little bit) when it hits home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

You’re about to give pink all of your money
And all I’m askin' you we’ve earned, honey
It’s to give black its propers
When C hits home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah Black C (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When C hits home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

Ooo, new treatments (oo)
Sweeter than honey (oo)
And guess what? (oo)
So is your money (oo)
All I want you to do (oo) for me
Is give it to C when it hits home (re, re, re ,re)
Yeah Black C (re, re, re ,re)
Give it to C (respect, just a little bit)
When C hits home, now (just a little bit)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out that it’s real bad C
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Leave those, UVs be

Oh (sock it to C, sock it to C,
sock it to C, sock it to C)
A little respect (sock it to C, sock it to C,
sock it to C, sock it to C)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on fryin' (just a little bit)
You’re tannin', Black C’s droolin' (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(re, re, re, re) 'spect
When C hits home (re, re, re ,re)
Then you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out you’re gone (just a little bit)
C’s got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
