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
