Close The Door - Pokey LaFarge

Close the Door, close the door, don’t let the doctor come in

Close the door and lock it tight

I’ve got no money for the doctor tonight

Three weeks I spent in the hospital

It left me with a stack of bills sky high

I’ll never be able to pay them I know

I wish I would have stayed there and died

La dee da dee da, la dee da dee dum…

Tell me why, please, tell me why

We must pay for the things that we need

While a doctor gets richer off me each day

I barely have the money to eat

So I’ll never go to the doctor no more

No matter how sick I get

No doctor will ever get my dough

‘Cause I work too damn hard for that

La dee da dee da, la dee da dee dum…

Oh, the doctor he sticks his needle in

He says just to take some blood

What he claimed it was not red but green

And boys he took all that he could

1st verse

La dee da dee da, la dee da dee dum…
