Lyric Door Number Three

By: Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman
1974
Oh I took a wrong turn, it was the right turn
My turn to have me a ball
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 Merrill points to on the floor
No I ll hold out just as long as I am able
Or until I can unlock that lucky door
Well, she s no big deal to most folk
But she s everything to me
Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

Oh Monty, Monty, Monty, I am walkin 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
