Please
Come over to 81st street I'm in the apartment above the bar
ย
You know you can't miss it, it's across from the subway
And the tacky store with the mylar scarves
ย
My skin's as pale as outdoors moon
My hair's silver like a tiffany watch
ย
I like lots of people around me but don't kiss hello
And please don't touch
ย
It's a czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
The way to make friends andy is invite them up for tea
Open house, open house
ย
I've got a lot of cats, here's my favorite
She's lady called sam
ย
I made a paper doll of her โ you can have it
That's what I did when I had st.vitus dance
ย
It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother pased on to me
Give people little presents so they remember me
Open house, open house
ย
Someone bring the vegetables, someone please bring heat
ย
My mother showed up yesterday, we need something to eat
ย
I think I got a job today they want me to draw shoes
The ones I drew were old and used
They told me โ draw something new
Open house, open house
ย
Fly me to the moon, fly me to a star
ย
But there are no stars in the new york sky
They're all on the ground
ย
You scared yourself with music, I scared myself with paint
I drew 550 different shoes today
It almost made me faint
Open house, open house
ย
