[00:10.94]Please
[00:12.94]Come over to 81st street I'm in the apartment above the bar
[00:23.98]You know you can't miss it, it's across from the subway
[00:29.01]and the tacky store with the Mylar scarves
[00:32.90]My skin's as pale as outdoors moon
[00:40.49]My hair's silver like a Tiffany watch
[00:44.29]I like lots of people around me but don't kiss hello
[00:54.95]And please don't touch
[01:00.44]It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
[01:07.02]The way to make friends Andy is invite them up for tea
[01:12.64]Open house, open house
[01:22.05]I've got a lot of cats, here's my favorite
[01:31.76]She's lady called Sam
[01:34.80]I made a paper doll of her - you can have it
[01:43.89]That's what I did when I had St.Vitus dance
[01:48.90]It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
[01:57.18]Give people little presents so they remember me
[02:03.88]Open house, open house
[02:17.70]Someone bring the vegetables, someone please bring heat
[02:25.15]My mother showed up yesterday, we need something to eat
[02:36.94]I think I got a job today they want me to draw shoes
[02:47.03]The ones I drew were old and used
[02:51.95]They told me - draw something new
[02:56.35]Open house, open house
[03:06.82]Fly me to the moon, fly me to a star
[03:19.04]But there are no stars in the New York sky
[03:23.59]They're all on the ground
[03:32.62]You scared yourself with music, I scared myself with paint
[03:38.57]I drew five hundred fifty different shoes today
[03:43.68]It almost made me faint
[03:45.14]Open house,
[03:50.85]open house
[03:56.99]open house
[04:03.07]open house
