Lyrics for Open the Door, Homer

Now, there's a certain thing that I learned from Jim That he'd always make sure I'd understand And that is that there's a certain way we all must swim If we expect to live off of the fat of the land Open the door, Richard I've heard it said before Open the door, Richard I've heard it said it before But I ain't gonna hear it said no more Now, there's a certain thing that I learned from my friend, Mouse That fella who never blushes And that is that one must always flush out his house If he don't expect to be housing flushes Open the door, Richard I've heard it said before Open the door, Richard I've heard it said before But I ain't gonna hear it said no more "Take care of all of your memories," said Nick For you cannot relive them And remember when you're out there tryin' to heal the sick That you must always first forgive them Open the door, Richard I've heard it said before Open the door, Richard I've heard it said before But I ain't gonna hear it said no more
