Open The Door Richard

Open the door Richard Open the door and let me in Open the door Richard Richard why don't you open that door I met old zeke standin on the corner the other day That cat sure was booted with the liquor He was what? he was abnoxicated he was what? He was inebriated he was what? well he was just plain drunk Well alright then He was sure salty with the bartender The bartender's tryin to make him by another drink Zeke told the bartender There ain't no need of me buyin no drinks“ When everyone else is buyin them I'm goin to drink to everybody's health till I ruin my own Open the door Richard! Why don't he know who he's throwin outta that joint Why I'll go back in that joint and take a short stick And bust it down to the ground Open the door Richard! But I hate to be caught out on the street like this 'cause it makes you looks so common And I know I ain't common Cause I got class I ain't never used yet But I guess I better get on in the house Cause I don't want my pastor to catch me out like this Hey Richard Open the door Now look at that old woman across the street Done stuck her head outta the window callin her sister Look at her, hunchin' her sister sayin, "ain't that him, ain't that him?" Yes it's me and I'm drunk again Open the door richard I know he's in there cause I got on the clause. they can't throw him out cause I owe just as Much back rent as he does Imagine that old woman chargin us Three dollars a month and gettin mad cause we 12 months in the arears Come meetin me last thursday sayin 'Ain't you boys goin to give me some back rent“ I told her she'd be lucky if she got some front rent Open the door Richard hey Richard come on open the door Cause I'm standin here scratchin in my pants pocket And standin here gropin in my coat pocket And standin here feelin in my shirt pocket And I can't find the key Open the door Richard Open the door Richard Open the door and let me in Open the door Richard Richard why don't you open that door?
