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
