Open up the window,let some air into this room
I think I`m almost chokin`on the smell of stale
perfume
And the cigarette you`re smokin`s about to scare
me half to death
Oh open up the window, let me catch my breath
CHORUS
3.
The radio`s blastin` someone`s knockin` on the
door
Our hostess is not lastin` she`s passed out on
the floor
I`ve seen so many things I ain`t never seen before
I don`t know what it is but I don`t wanna see no
more
CHORUS
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
