I woke up this morning
Toes out of my shoes
Well the north wind was a howlin'
Bringing in the blues
I said "Blues, good morning"
I don't want to fight
'xcuse me while I have a smoke
If I can find a light

Open up the door and let the good times in
Don't let nothing stand in your way
Just open up the door and let the good times in
Tomorrow's gonna be better than today

I went to that ol' cupboard
Found the cupboard bare
What happened to that sip of wine
That I had hidden there
Well over in the corner
A little mouse laid on his side
He was wearing such a grin
I thought the cat had died

Open up the door and let the good times in
Don't let anything stand in your way
Just open up the door and let the good times in
Tomorrow's gonna be better than today

I went out and called my baby
When she got on the phone
I kinda had a little feeling
My baby was not alone
She said "Daddy, I'm busy
Call back some other time"
I don't need that woman
But I sure could use that dime

Open up the door and let the good times in
Don't let anything stand in your way
Open up the door and let the good times in
Tomorrow's gonna be better than today
Tomorrow's gonna be better than today
Tomorrow's gonna be better than today
