Open The Door Richard Lyrics

Open The Door Richard lyrics

???? at the club tonight. Ole Richard went home early-he's got the key to
the
house. I'm gonna knock on the door, see if I kin get in.



Open the door, Richard!! Ya see, Richard sleeps in the
back room. It's kinda hard
to hear.
Maybe I better knock a little
louder.



Open the door, Richard!! I
don't think Richard heard me yet. Knock one more
time-let's see
what's
gonna happen.



Richard, open the door, please.

SUNG: Open the door,
Richard
Open the door and let me in
Open the door, Richard
Richard,
why don't you open that door?

Richard, open the door, man-it's *co-hold*
out here'n this air. Now look-there's that
old woman 'cross the street
lookin' out the windah
(Who's that, Widow Sweet?)
That must be her
sister, I guess. She wants to make SURE this is me. She's tryin'
to find
out
what's happenin'. Yes, it's me and I'm late again!
(??, did you hear
what the lady's sayin'?)
No, what is she sayin'?
(She said you sure look
common out here'n the street.)
COMMON? Man, I got class I ain't never used
yet. I'm gonna knock again-
Richard's got to get up.



Open the door, Richard!! Man, you got a key to the
house?
(No, ??, I don't have a key. I DON'T have a key.)
Somebody's got
to get in the house. We can't climb in the transit.
(Oh, I know he's in
there.)
How YOU know he's in there?
(I can hear him breathin'.)
Ooooh,
let's try it one more time!



Richard,
open that door, man. Maybe Richard's gone.



SUNG: Open the door, Richard
Open the door and let me
in
Open the door, Richard
Richard, why don't you open that door? <
halfway thru this singing
part, it blends
with a background
conversation.>

I know he's in there.
(how you know he's in
there?)
Why, you got on the suit.
I know I got on the only suit. Ain't
got but one suit between us. That's the
reason why I don't like to roooooom
with nobody.

FADE
Richard, why don'tcha open the door, man?
