Intro-conversations mingled in a crowded room |
? |
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? |
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? |
TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: *cold."* |
This entire song is done on an ad-lib basis and it varies WIDELY from other |
versions, which were considerably funnier. |
«?"represents the names or |
nicknames of the band members which I could not comprehend. |
Still it IS the |
version that made #1. |
