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
