Loudon Wainwright III - Door Number Three lyrics

[Loudon Wainwright III - Door Number Three lyrics]

Oh, I took a wrong turn
But it was a right turn
My turn to have me a ball
All the boys in the shop told
Me just where to stop
If I wanted to play for it all

But, I never thought
I'd find her on daytime TV
And my whole world lies waiting
Behind door number three

I planned my apparel, I wore a big barrel
And they rolled me to the very first row
And I held up a sign and it says
"Kiss me I'm a baker
And Monty I sure need the dough"
And then I grabbed him
By the throat until he called on me
Cause my whole world lies waiting
Behind door number three

Now I don't want what Jay's got on the table
Or the box Carol Merrill points
To on the floor
I'll hold out as long as I am able
And someday I'll go unlock that lucky door

She's no big deal to most folks
But she's everything to me
And my whole world lies waiting
Behind door number three

And ain't it hard to realize
He's not sellin' any alibis
When he stares into the vacuum of your eyes
And says "Do you wanta make a deal?"

They found us in the lost and found
Love is blind but now I see
That my whole world lies waiting
Behind door number three
Yes my whole world lies waiting
Behind door number three
