Oh, I took a wrong turn but it was the right turn
My turn to have me a ball
All the boys in the shop told me just where to stop
If I wanted to play for it all

But I never thought I'd find her on daytime TV
And my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

I plan my apparel, I wore a big barrel
And they rolled me to the very first row
And I held up a sign and it says, "Kiss me, I'm a beggar
And Monty I sure need the dough"

And then I grabbed him by the throat until he called on me
'Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

Or the box Carol Merrill points to on the floor
I'll hold out as long as I am able
And someday I'll go unlock that lucky door

She's no big deal to most folks but she's everything to me
And my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

And ain't it hard to realize, he's not selling' any alibis
When he stares into the vacuum of your eyes
And he says, "Do you wanna make it even"

They found us in the lost and found, love is blind but now I see
That my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
Yes my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

Oh, I took a wrong turn but it was the right turn
My turn to have me a ball
All the boys in the shop told me just where to stop
