Open The Door Richard

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.

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?

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.

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