Open the Door, Homer (Take 3) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now, there's a certain thing
That I learned from Jim
That he'd make sure I'd always understand
And that there's one certain way
That a man must swim
Where he expects to live off of the fat of the land

[Chorus]
Open the door, Richard
I've heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
Heard he said before
But I ain't gonna hear it said no more

[Verse 2]
Now, there's a certain thing
That I learned from my friend, Mouse
That fella who always blushes
And that is that everyone must always
Flush out their house
If he don't expect to be going around housing flushes

[Chorus]
Open the door, Richard
I've heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
I've heard it said before
But I ain't gonna hear it said no more
[Verse 3]
Take care of all of your memories, said my friend Nick
And remember now you cannot relive them
And do not forget that
When you go out to heal the sick
That you must always first forgive them

[Chorus]
Open the door, Richard
I've heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
I've heard it said before
And I ain't gonna hear it said no more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
