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? < 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?
