Knock First -------------- She keeps insisting and I'm done resisting Her kind of diplomacy works She drafts the treaty; I gladly concur My only request: knock first Each door in this house swings open But three The bathroom's my zone, my seat is a throne My axe cracks firewood, outside her jurisdiction Jerky on the rack, no one at my back Three doors, one rule, and it's knock first Each door in this house swings open But three The treaty's taped up on the door I would have begged for this back there at my worst So all I ask: knock first. (Just knock) She keeps insisting and I'm still persisting Our treaty gets renewed at dawn Signed in the hall, signed on the bed I'd gladly sign for decades; just knock first Each door in this house swings open But three The treaty's taped up on the door I would have begged for this back there at my worst Once my bed was far too wide I'd roll to the other side But please knock first Knock First --- "Knock First" Copyright © 2024 Rick n' Stolti.
