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？
