lyrics

I open the door for many a lady and gentleman
Knowing full well they’ll never do the same for me
The hours are long and most never give me a word of thanks
But lucky for me I take to it naturally

Some people wonder if I make a bit of difference
Claiming that my work’s not all it’s cracked up to be but
Don’t you know deep in your heart
Do away with the doorman, it all falls apart

I’m out of the sheets and onto the street at the crack of dawn
Always the first to bid you good morning ma’am
And I wouldn’t dare to bore you with talk of my aching feet
Others may do but that’s not the man I am

Some people wonder if I make a bit of difference
Claiming that my work’s not all it’s cracked up to be but
Don’t you know deep in your heart
Do away with the doorman, it all falls apart

Pardon me a moment while I flag a taxicab down
Anything you need day or night you know where I can be found

Here at my post I watch all the lovers parading by
Most of them young with all of their life ahead
Me, I live alone and when I get home all the lights are off
No food in the fridge no kids and no wife in bed

Sometimes I wonder if I make a bit of difference
Hate to say my life’s not all it’s cracked up to be but
Though it sure isn’t a lot
Being the doorman is all that I got.
