Open the Door Richard - Louis Jordan
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 liqour
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 I make him looks so common
But I ain't no I common
Cause I got class
I never use jake
But i guess i better get on in the house
Cause I don't want my pastor
To catch me out like this
Hi richrd
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 and 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 clothes
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 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
Open the door richard
