|
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 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. |
|
open the door, richrd! |
|
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! |
|
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 |
