(OPEN UP THE DOOR) LET THE GOOD TIMES IN
(Mitch Torok / Ramona Redd) (1966)

Dean Martin


I woke up this mornin',
Toes out of my shoes;
Cold north wind's ahowlin',
Bringin' me the blues.
I said, "Blues, good mornin',
I don't wanna fight,
'Scuse 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 nothin' 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 its side,
He was wearin' such a grin,
I thought the mouse had died.
Open up the door and let the good times in,
Don't let nothin' stand in your way;
Just open up the door and let the good times in,
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today.

I went called my baby,
When she got to the phone;
I kinda had a little feelin',
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 the dime.
Open up the door and let the good times in,
Don't let nothin' stand in your way;
Just open up the door and let the good times in,
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today.
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today.
Tomorrow's gonna be a better than today.
