Intro- conversa tion
s 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?
