Don’t stand in the doorway
Come right inside
The coffee is boiling
The eggs are fried
Butter is chilling, and fossils are grilling
And muffins too
That will do, even for you
The puppy is barking
Isn’t she a honeycomb
The parrot is calling
Won’t you make yourself at home
You’ll find a welcome
You’ll never know till you’ve tried
Why stand in the doorway
When love is inside.
