SHUT THE DOOR
(Mann / Ives / Kern / Howard)

I know a certain fellow By the name of Joe Devine,
He started seeing funny things From drinkin' too much wine;
Around his bed pink elephants And zebras played about,
A purple monkey kissed him twice And he began to shout:

CHORUS: Shut the door! They're coming through the window!
Shut the window! They're coming through the door!
Shut the door! They're coming through the window!
Oh! the room is full And won't hold any more!

A man lived in Vancouver, In a cottage by the sea,
One night he called the sheriff up And said "They're robbing me!
There's twenty crooks around the house, Please tell me what to do!"
The sheriff said, "Don't let 'em in, That's my advice to you!" CHORUS

A dad-to-be was waiting For the stork to bring an heir,
Out came the nurse who said "Two storks Have just brought you a pair!
Oh, wait! There's more storks circling 'round, I think they're gonna light!
Looks like those storks are gonna be Kept busy here tonight!" CHORUS

My wife went in for rabbits And she kept them in a hutch.
She only bought two rabbits And it didn't seem like much;
One morning when we looked at them, Oh, how they'd multiplied!
A million rabbits hopped right out And all the neighbors cried: CHORUS

The first week we were married, My dear wife said to me,
"I'm feeling kind of lonesome For my darling family.
Can we invite them for awhile, Since we've got room to spare?"
They eat me out of house and home, They're getting in my hair! CHORUS
