I found this one one Monologues.co.uk - they now have lyrics to over 2,000 Music Hall songs: HANNAH, WON'T YOU OPEN THE DOOR? (Hannah, Hannah, Open the door it's Bill) Bill's at the door, chilled to the core Please baby, Hannah, take me back once more Here in the snow, I'm shivering so My bones are rattling in breezes 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 chicken stew Hannah I loves only you. Chorus: Hannah, Hannah, won't you open that door? Hannah, Hannah, won't you change your manner This is old Billy Johnson don't you love him no more? And I pleads, 'cos I needs That place behind the stove that I used to have before Hannah, Hannah, don't you hear me, Won't you open that door. (If you don't open that door I'm going to kick it in, you hear me?) Hannah, Hannah, let me in please, honest I'll freeze I'll surely catch the grip starting to sneeze Please stop that rhyme, gal it's a crime Singing that song about old Summer time Frost bitten, nose like a beak I'm frozen sure honey I want some heat I love you still, I always will Open that door Babe it's Bill. Chorus: Hannah, Hannah, won't you open that door? Hannah, Hannah, won't you change your manner This is old Billy Johnson don't you love him no more? And I pleads, 'cos I needs That place behind the stove that I used to have before Hannah, Hannah, don't you hear me, Won't you open that door. Written and composed by Sam and Kirk McGee - 1927 Performed by Ella Retford (1886-1962) Here's a link to the song as performed by Sam McGee: Sam LFF
