[00:00:01] Written by：Jack McVea/Frank Clarke

[00:00:08] Open the door Richard

[00:00:12] Open the door and let me in

[00:00:16] Open the door Richard

[00:00:20] Richard why don't you open that door

[00:00:24] I met old Zeke standing on the corner the other day

[00:00:26] That cat sure was booted with the liquor

[00:00:28] He was what

[00:00:29] He was intoxicated

[00:00:31] He was what

[00:00:32] He was inebriated

[00:00:34] He was what

[00:00:36] Well he was just plain drunk

[00:00:38] Well alright then

[00:00:39] He was sure salty with the bartender

[00:00:42] The bartender's trying to make him by another drink

[00:00:44] Zeke told the bartender

[00:00:46] There ain't no need of me buying no drinks when everyone else is buying them

[00:00:50] I'm going to drink to everybody's health till I ruin my own

[00:00:55] Open the door Richard

[00:00:58] Why don't he know who he's throwing outta that joint

[00:01:01] Why I'll go back in that joint and take a short stick

[00:01:05] And bust it down to the ground

[00:01:08] Open the door Richard

[00:01:12] But I hate to be caught out on the street like this

[00:01:14] Cause it makes she look so common

[00:01:16] And I know I'm common cause I got class I ain't never used yet

[00:01:22] But I guess I better get on in the house cause

[00:01:24] I don't want my pastor to catch me out like this

[00:01:29] Hi Richard

[00:01:31] Open the door

[00:01:32] Now look at that old woman across the street

[00:01:34] Done stuck her head outta the window calling her sister

[00:01:37] Look at her and her sister saying ain't that him ain't that him '

[00:01:40] Yes it's me and I'm drunk again

[00:01:45] Open the door Richard

[00:01:48] I know he's in there cause I got on the clothes

[00:01:51] They can't throw him out cause

[00:01:52] I owe just as much back rent as he does

[00:01:55] Imagine that old woman charging us three dollars a month

[00:01:59] And getting mad cause we twelve months in the areas

[00:02:02] Come meeting me last Thursday saying

[00:02:04] 'Ain't you boys going to give me some back rent '

[00:02:07] I told her she'd be lucky if she got some front rent

[00:02:11] Open the door Richard

[00:02:15] Hi Richard

[00:02:17] Come on open the door

[00:02:19] Cause I'm standing here scratching in my pants pocket

[00:02:24] And standing here groping in my coat pocket

[00:02:28] And standing here feeling in my shirt pocket

[00:02:32] And I can't find the key

[00:02:34] Open the door Richard

[00:02:38] Open the door Richard

[00:02:42] Open the door and let me in

[00:02:46] Open the door Richard

[00:02:50] Richard why don't you open that door

[00:02:57] Open the door Richard
