# **Congratulations, You Found the Door!** **Verse 1** Six in the morning, what a wonderful time, To slam my door like you’re fighting a crime. BANG goes the handle, BOOM goes the frame, And suddenly sleeping is no longer the game. I know it’s a door — quite shocking, I know, But here’s a small secret before you go: It actually closes without making a crash, You don’t need to treat it like a cymbal smash. **Chorus** Please don’t slam my door at six in the morning, I promise the building is not issuing a warning. If you want respect, here’s a clever little clue: Try giving some first — it works, who knew? No medals are given for the loudest door, No trophy is waiting outside on the floor. Respect goes both ways, strange but true, Treat me with kindness and I’ll give it to you. **Verse 2** Maybe the door hasn’t personally offended you, Maybe a gentle close would somehow still do. You don’t need a run-up, a countdown or cheer, Just close it softly — revolutionary idea! I’m not asking for monks or a silent retreat, Or fluffy slippers on everybody’s feet. Just maybe at six, when I’m trying to sleep, Don’t make my bedroom sound like a demolition site, please. **Chorus** Please don’t slam my door at six in the morning, No need for the dramatic theatrical warning. If you want respect, here’s a clever little clue: Try giving some first — it works, who knew? No medals are given for the loudest door, No trophy is waiting outside on the floor. Respect goes both ways, strange but true, Treat me with kindness and I’ll give it to you. **Bridge** I’ll say please. I’ll say thanks. I won’t drive a bulldozer through your sleeping ranks. Seems like a reasonably fair exchange: Kindness for kindness — nothing too strange. And if shutting doors gently feels terribly hard, Perhaps we need lessons, a chart or a card: Step one: hold handle. Step two: close slow. Step three: congratulations — now you know! **Final Chorus** So Tynefield staff, here’s my morning request: At six o’clock, please let people rest. Don’t slam my door like it owes you some cash, Just close it normally — no bang, boom or crash. If you want respect, kindness and care, Then please remember it has to be shared. Respect goes both ways, simple and true: You give it to me, And I’ll give it to you. **Outro** No bang. No boom. No six-a.m. doom. Just close the door softly… and quietly leave the room. 😴
