Shakin' Stevens - Green Door Lyrics






Midnight, one more night without sleepin'
Watchin', till the morning comes creepin'
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'?

There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doin' 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 'em I'd been there
Door slammed, hospitality's thin there
Wonder just what's goin' on in there

Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey 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 sleepin'
Watchin', till the morning comes creepin'
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'?

Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud behind the green door
When I said Joe sent me someone laughed out loud behind the green door
AII I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out what's behind the green door.

    Liked shaky till I tried to copy his move. The way he bent his legs to get his knees near the ground. Worst pain I have felt as my kneecap popped out
    of its socket. Lol

    J.... W....

  37. N.... H....

    Seeing this legend in Northampton tonight 👍

  38. T.... T....

    Born in the wrong era

  39. T.... H....

    I was born in 1942, lived [and served] through it all, but, as a rocker, a true rocker, I think Shakey is the best the UK had on offer, [I have been to Gracelands, lingered in Sun Studios, touched Jerry's piano, received Elvis's autograph, ] so I feel I am qualified to comment, Shakey is the best, believe me...

  40. L.... H....

    Still fantastic 2019 <3

  41. J.... B....

    i wish there was a jojo stand called green door

  42. M.... D....

    First record that was bought for me as a child

  43. c.... ....

    It's about a Pot Party. You know,weed. A smokey cloud,people laughing.

  44. S.... R....

    Demonetise it you fucking pirate

  45. D.... C....

    I bet he totally hated Adam Ant.

  46. J.... V....

    Who'd have thunk a song by a local singer called Michael Barrat about a door that is coloured green, could be such a hit.

  47. C.... D....

    My guilty pleasure is the one and only Shaky along with a couple but he still gets me every time

  48. K.... W....

    anyone here after the new immortal hulk issue??

  49. A.... B....

    Brings back great memories of my now sleeping dad playing this on guitar singing it to me 😢 keep strumming dad I love and miss you forever 🌷😢🌷

    A.... B....

    It's all good Amanda, all the best.

  50. J.... B....

    Lee Mack is a pretty funny guy

  51. T.... T....

    What a Great Energy of Shakin's Power..............

  52. t.... k....

    Bring back the 80's when music was a lot better. Today's music in 2018 is pure shit.

    t.... k....

    True but not completely.If your a real 80s music fan check out julian casablancas 11th dimension, Daft punks album "Random access memories", maybe Beck's album "The information". If you dig let me know I got more, if not that's why music is great, and listen to what makes you happy.

    t.... k....

    This isn't better. It is a half ass cover.

    t.... k....

    Music wasn't a lot better, but my youth was a lot better.

  53. K.... E....

    If when I die and my senses awaken to a new existence, if this is the sound I hear, then I know the next voice I hear will be that of beelzebub himself.

  54. 4.... ....

    This song hit number one for three weeks in 1956. Jim Lowe did it then. This guy nails it too.

  55. M.... D....

    Few years back my neighbor had green sliding installed played him this song gees good music packed up laughing

  56. �.... �....

    Does this song relate to H.G.Wells' story?

  57. H.... N....

    Loved the 70s and 80s

  58. W.... D....

    I've liked this song ever since the '50s, when I was a little kid. Shakin' Stevens does probably the best version of this song.

  59. J.... R....

    he s so far i know the only one that let rock and roll lived further then elvis after he died in 1977...love it

  60. M.... B....

  67. d.... b....

    I remember this song when i went to school and that was in the 80s our school had a consent against other schools and one of the constant that we did was a play which we did have an green door as part of the seen and we had a boy & girl on the front of the stage asking what's is behind the green door and each time they had open the green door different carders come out until closed to end of the song the last ones had came out was the 60s swing rockers roller in the

  70. T.... W....

  80. S.... E....

    Shakey was epic!

  81. S.... E....

    My seven year old just said that this is "terrible". Kids today have no taste!

    S.... E....

    I used to say the same thing about Roy Orbison to my dad. I am happy to admit I was very wrong, he'll grow into it :)

  82. V.... R....

    Adoro ouvir Shakin Stevens ! Maravilhoso !

  83. S.... M....

    Really like this version but my favorite is done by Jim Lowe, 1956!

  84. A.... C....

    As a kid when Shaky brought this out - just thought was a good 'singalong' and those behind 'The Green Door' just loved music! But now . . . . more than likely 'They' loved Green Ice . . Emerald Ice! Opening line tells me it can't be Green 'Grass'

  85. T.... E....

    HE WAS VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

  86. J.... R....

    YES ...GREAT TIME BACK THEN I WOULD TURN BACK TIME

  87. A.... L....

    Love Shaky and love this song but does anyone else find the video a little weird? It's fun but weird.

  88. C.... T....
