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