I woke up this morning

Toes out of my shoes


Bringing me the blues


I said "Blues, good morning"

I don't want to fight


'Cuse me while I have a smoke


If I can't 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 cupboard

Found the cupboard bare


What happened to that sip of wine


I had hidden there

Over in the corner a little mouse laid on his side


He was wearing such a grin


I thought the mouse 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 a better day





I won't call my baby

When she got to the phone


I kinda had a little feeling


My baby was not alone

She said "Daddy, I'm busy


Call 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 a better day


Tomorrow's gonna be a better day


Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
