"Open the Door, Richard" is a song 
first recorded on the Black & White
Records label by saxophonistist Jack
 McVea at the suggestion of A&R man
Ralph Bass. In 1947, it was the 
number-one song on Billboard's 
"Honor Roll
of Hits" and became a runaway pop 
sensation. In 1967, Bob Dylan and 
The
Band recorded an homage to the song 
as part of The Basement Tapes. 
Entitled
"Open the Door, Homer", the chorus 
nevertheless repeated the phrase 
"Open
the door Richard."

[Verse 1]
               A
Now, there’s a certain thing
       F#m
That I learned from Jim
A                            
That he’d always make sure I’d

understand

If we expect to live off

Of the fat of the land

 A fella who never blushes

And that is that one
           F#m
Must always flush out his house

 If he don’t expect to be housing

 That you must always first forgive
