Door Number Three
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I took a wrong turn, it was a right turn
My turn to have me a ball
The boys at the shop told me just where to stop
If I, wanted to play for it all
I didn't know I'd find her on daytime TV
My whole world lies waiting behind door number three
I chose my apparel, I wore a beer barrel
And they rolled me to the very first row
I held a big sign that said,
"Kiss me I'm a baker, and Monty I sure need the dough"
Then I grabbed that sucker by the throat until he called on me
Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
And I don't want what Jay's got on his table
Or the box Carol Marel points to on the floor
No I'll hold out just as long as I am able
Until I can unlock that lucky door....well
She's no big deal to most folks
But she's everything to me
My whole world lies waiting behind door number three
Oh Monty, Monty, Monty, I am walking down your hall
Got beat, lost my seat, but I'm not a man to crawl
Though I didn't get rich, you son of a bitch,
I'll be back, just wait and see
Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
Yes my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
