《Open the Door， Richard》歌词

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard

[00:03:00] open the door and let me in

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard

[00:03:00] Richard, why don't you open that door

[00:03:00] I met old zeke standin on the corner the other day.

[00:03:00] that cat sure was booted with the liqour.

[00:03:00] he was what?

[00:03:00] he was abnoxicated.

[00:03:00] he was what?

[00:03:00] he was inebriated.

[00:03:00] he was what?

[00:03:00] well, he was just plain drunk.

[00:03:00] well, alright then!

[00:03:00] he was sure salty with the bartender.

[00:03:00] the bartender's tryin to make him by another drink.

[00:03:00] zeke told the bartender,

[00:03:00] there ain't no need of me buyin no drinks when everyone else is buyin them.

[00:03:00] i'm goin to drink to everybody's health, till I ruin my own.

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard!

[00:03:00] why don't he know who he's throwin outta that joint?

[00:03:00] why i'll go back in that joint and take a short stick and bust it down to the ground!

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard!

[00:03:00] but I hate to be caught out on the street like this cause I got class I ain't never used yet.

[00:03:00] but I guess I better get on in the house cause I don't want my pastor to catch me out like this.

[00:03:00] open the door, richrd!

[00:03:00] now look at that old woman across the street,

[00:03:00] done stuck her head outta the window callin her sister.

[00:03:00] look at her and her sister sayin, 'ain't that him, ain't that him?'

[00:03:00] yes it's me, and i'm drunk again.

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard!

[00:03:00] I know he's in there cause I got on the clothes.

[00:03:00] they can't throw him out cause I owe just as much back rent as he does.

[00:03:00] imagine that old woman chargin us three dollars a month and gettin mad cause we 12 months in the arears.

[00:03:00] come meetin me last thursday sayin,

[00:03:00] 'ain't you boys goin to give me some back rent?'

[00:03:00] I told her she'd be lucky if she got some front rent.

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard!

[00:03:00] come on, open the door.

[00:03:00] cause i'm standin here scratchin in my pants pocket

[00:03:00] and standin here gropin in my coat pocket

[00:03:00] and standin here feelin in my shirt pocket

[00:03:00] and I can't find the key.

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard!

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard

[00:03:00] open the door and let me in

[00:03:00] open the door, Richard

[00:03:00] Richard, why don't you open that door
