Intro-conversations mingled in a crowded room
<all parts are spoken except where indicated>
???? 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.
<five rapid drumbeats>
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.
<five louder rapid drumbeats>
Open the door, richard!! i don't think richard heard me yet. knock one more
time-let's see
what's gonna happen.
<five louder and even more-rapid drumbeats>
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.
<five rapid drumbeats>
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!
<seven loud rapid drumbeats>
Richard, open that door, man. maybe richard's gone.
<five rapid drumbeats>
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.
