I Knock At the Door

Welcome signs spreads dah floor_ And here I stand just before. There’s Happy people inside therein_ It's soon to open_ don't know when. Peeping through dah peephole waving to dah crowd_ doing my best_ not ta get loud. I keep-a ringing dah doorbell_ could give a shout er yell; darn things' a'working_ as far as I give tell. Welcome signs spreads dah floor_ And here I stand just before. There’s Happy people inside therein_ It's soon to open_ don't know when. Seeing through dah win'da and whaddaya know_ They’s doing the limbo and dah dirty disco. Musics' a'playing_ They’s a'dancing the jig Ole man Thomas' bout to lose his wig. There’s and ole friend o mine. chugg-in on tasty moon shine_ while sipping Pete's brandy wine. N starr-in at dah pretties n fine Welcome signs spreads dah floor_ And here I stand just before. There’s Happy people inside therein_ It's soon to open_ don't know when. Aww smokes alive_ They got Toro cigars_ see-em plucking ashes in dah ole fruit jar_ n havin knee slappin funnin at dah end of dah bar. Oh darnit to devil_ my unlucky stars cain't they hear me bangin so_ won't be long_ but I don't know. Its been a while now just a bit_ Lets turn the knob or jiggle it. Welcome signs spreads dah floor_ And here I stand just before. There’s Happy people inside therein_ It's soon to open_ don't know when. Porch light shi-nin clean in my face_ what's dah password ta-git in dis place? I can do dah tap, dah twist and dah flip_ Can I pleeease come in for just a sip. Guard dogs a'barkin all dis time_ Inclined to become friends o mine. Open up _if you’d be so kind Or is membership here’s by strange design? Welcome signs spreads dah floor_ And here I stand just before. Why I keep a'knocking_ just what for? Cuz whatever I do_ they just ignore.
