Hannah, Won't You Open The Door
Words by Andrew B. Sterling, Music by Harry Von Tilzer
Verse 1: Bill's at the door, chilled to the core,
Please, baby Hannah, take me back once more
Here in the snow, I'm shiv'ring so,
My bones are ratt-ling in breez-es that blow.
Hannah be nice, I'm cold as ice,
Why don't you answer me babe, I've knocked twice,
I'm hungry too, smell a chicken stew,
Hannah I loves only you.
Chorus 1: Oh, Hannah, Hannah,
Hannah, won't you open that door.
Hannah, Hannah, won't you change your manner,
This is old Bill Johnson, don't you love him no more.
And I pleads, 'cause I need,
That place behind the stove that I used to have before.
Hannah (tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap)
Well, Hannah (tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap)
Hannah won't you open that door.
Verse 2: Let me in please,Hon-est I'll freeze,
I'll sure-ly catch the gripp and I'm starting to sneeze;
Please stop that rhyme, gal it's a crime,
Singing that song a-bout old summer time.
Frost bit-ten feet, nose like a beet,
I'm fro-zen sure, Honey, I want some heat,
I loves you still, I always will
O-pen the door Babe, it's Bill!
Chorus 2: Oh, Hannah, Hannah,
Hannah, won't you open that door.
Hannah, Hannah, won't you change your evil manner,
This is old Bill Johnson, don't you love me no more.
And I pleads, 'cause I need,
That place behind the stove that I used to have before.
Hannah (tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap)
Well, Hannah (tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap tap tap   tap)
Why the devil won't you open that door.
