為什麼你不開門啊?
I met old zeke standin on the corner the other day
那天我遇到了老齊克,他就立在那個角落
That cat sure was booted with the liquor
那老貓肯定喝多了酒
He was what? he was abnoxicated
他怎麼了?他頭暈目眩。
he was what? He was inebriated
他怎麼了?他酩酊大醉
he was what? well he was just plain drunk
他怎麼了?好吧,他也只是單純醉了而已
Well alright then
那好吧,隨他去
He was sure salty with the bartender
他肯定被酒保戲耍過,心情糟糕
The bartender's tryin to make him by another drink
酒保慫恿著他一杯接著一杯喝
Zeke told the bartender
老齊克告訴那酒保
There ain't no need of me buyin no drinks“
別人都在買醉
When everyone else is buyin them
可我不需要
I'm goin to drink to everybody's health till I ruin my own
在我墮落前,我喝酒是為了人人健康”
Open the door Richard!
開門啊理查!
Why don't he know who he's throwin outta that joint
為什麼他會不曉得他把大麻扔給了誰
Why I'll go back in that joint and take a short stick
為什麼我要摻和進去
And bust it down to the ground
拿根短棍把他掀倒在地
Open the door Richard!
開門吧,理查!
But I hate to be caught out on the street like this
我討厭就這樣在大街上被抓
'cause it makes you looks so common
因為這會讓你看起來像是同夥
And I know I ain't common
我知道我不一樣
Cause I got class I ain't never used yet
因為我尋釁滋事…噢老天我以前從沒這麼做過
But I guess I better get on in the house
我想我最好進屋去
Cause I don't want my pastor to catch me out like this
因為我真不想我的牧師看到我現在這副摸樣
Hey Richard Open the door
嘿理查,快把門打開!
Now look at that old woman across the street
瞧瞧,現在那老婦人正穿街而過
Done stuck her head outta the window callin her sister
把頭伸出窗外喊她姐姐
Look at her, hunchin' her sister sayin, 'ain't that him, ain't that him?'
瞧瞧她們,她們說著“這該不是他吧這該不是他吧?”
Yes it's me and I'm drunk again
哈,是我沒錯耶我又喝多啦!
Open the door richard
開門啊,理查
I know he's in there cause I got on the clause.
我知道他在那兒,因為我遵守了條款
they can' t throw him out cause I owe just as
他們不能將他轟出去
Much back rent as he does
因為我欠他的租金與他欠的一樣多
Imagine that old woman chargin us
想像一下,那老婦人每月收我們三美元卻能將我們折磨瘋
Three dollars a month and gettin mad cause we 12 months in the arears
因為我們要在這兒待上該死的十二個月
Come meetin me last thursday sayin
上週四來找我時她們說
'Ain't you boys goin to give me some back rent“
為什麼你兒子不替你付了租金?”
I told her she'd be lucky if she got some front rent
我告訴她她能拿到些預付金就很不錯了

Cause I'm standin here scratchin in my pants pocket
我站在門口搜遍了褲子口袋
And standin here gropin in my coat pocket
翻遍了上衣口袋
And standin here feelin in my shirt pocket
甚至是T卹口袋
And I can't find the key
就是找不到那該死的鑰匙!
