By: jimmy buffett, steve goodman 1974 Oh i took a wrong turn, it was the right turn My turn to have me a ball Boys at the shop told me just where to stop If i wanted to play for it all I didn't know i'd find her on daytime tv My whole world lies waiting behind door number three I chose my apparel, i wore a beer barrel And they rolled me to the very first row I held a big sign that said, "kiss me i'm a baker And monty i sure need the dough" Then i grabbed that s**er by the throat until he called on me 'cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three And i don't want what jay's got on his table
Or the box carol merrill points to on the floor No i'll hold out just as long as i am able Or until i can unlock that lucky door Well, she's no big deal to most folk But she's everything to me 'cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three Oh monty, monty, monty, i am walkin' down your hall Got beat, lost my seat, but i'm not a man to crawl Though i didn't get rich, you son of a b**h I'll be back just wait and see 'cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three Yes my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
