Annotationen

Der Erzähler kann nicht schlafen, weil er in einem Haus mit einem privaten Club wohnt. Er möchte wissen, was hinter der grünen Türe passiert, aber bleibt trotz allerlei Tricks, die er anwendet, um in den Club hineinzukommen, ausgeschlossen.
Musikalisch eine Boogie Woogie, Honkytonk und Rock'n'Roll Hybride.
Der Song inspirierte den Titel des Hardcore Klassikers Behind The Green Door
Eine Coverversion von Shakin' Stevens war 1981 in ein paar europäischen Ländern erfolgreich, vor allem in der Schweiz.

Lyrics

Midnight, one more night without sleeping Watching till the morning comes creeping Green door, what's that secret you're keeping? There's an old piano And they play it hot behind the green door; Don't know what they're doing But they laugh a lot behind the green door Wish they'd let me in So I could find out what's behind the green door Knocked once, tried to tell them I'd been there; Door slammed, hospitality's thin there Wonder just what's going on in there Saw an eyeball peeping Through a smoky cloud behind the green door; When I said "Joe sent me" Someone laughed out loud behind the green door All I want to do Is join the happy crowd behind the green door Midnight, one more night without sleeping Watching till the morning comes creeping Green door, what's that secret you're keeping? Green door what's that secret you're keeping? Green door!
