It said it was going to rain

cats and dogs.

- No, we're bears and frogs.

- And Gonzos.

Whatever you are, whoever you are,

welcome to Great Britain.

We're actually in Great Britain.

We'll never get to England now.

You are in England,

my furry friend.

This sceptred isle,

this jewel of the North Atlantic.

Good. We're going to London.

Could you recommend a nice hotel?

- Actually, a cheap hotel.

- How cheap?

- Free.

- That narrows the field a bit.

Let's see.

'' Places where you can park

your carcasses:

bus terminals, riverbanks...

the Happiness Hotel--''

Happiness Hotel?

That sounds great.

What's wrong with bus terminals?

Thanks a lot for your help, sir.

Guys, this is London.

Yeah, London.

We made it. Oh, boy!

- Is that the Eiffel Tower?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Are bears allowed in those fountains?

- What?

- Are bears allowed in those fountains?

- I don't think so.

- I need a bath.

This is terrific.

Wow, look at this scenery.

Yeah, it's very realistic.

- What's the name of this river?

- I don't know.

I think it's the English River.

I'll take a picture of it.

Say cheese.

Did I get my elbow in the shot?

- Don't worry. It adds human interest.

- But I'm a bear.

Anyone for the Happiness Hotel?

- Happiness Hotel.

- That's us.

- Yes, we want the Happiness Hotel.

- Yeah.

Wow.

Another crash landing.

That was terrible.

We'll just have to do it again.

Oh, look. The Happiness Hotel.

What do you think, guys?

Oh, look. The Happiness Hotel.

What do you think, guys?

If that's the Happiness Hotel, I'd hate

to see what the sad one looks like.

- Excuse me.

- What?

We'd like a room.

Really?

Yeah, we'd like to check in.

Somebody's checking in!

Somebody's checking in?

There's no fire in the fireplace

There's no carpet on the floor

Don't try to order dinner

There's no kitchen anymore

But if the road's been kind of bumpy

and you need to rest a spell

Welcome home to Happiness Hotel

- How are you guys fixing to pay?

- What are our choices?

A:
credit card.

B:
cash.

C:
sneak out

in the middle of the night.

We'll take C.

Very popular choice.

If you got luggage keep it handy

But you're running out of luck

'Cause the bellhops

ain't too organized

And the elevator's stuck

So if you don't mind friendly animals

and can learn to stand the smell

Welcome home to Happiness Hotel

I may be mistaken,

but the bellhops look like rats.

You should see the chambermaids.

Welcome home

No matter where you wander,

you will never do as well

Okay, the lobby's looking shabby

and it's got the wrong address

And the whole dang thing

has been condemned by American Express

Still the management is cheerful
