We've got a problem we can't get around   It's gotten too big to just tear down   We built a wall out of thin air   Now I'm over here and you're over there      I'm afraid that there's no two ways to it   This could be our undoing   Can't raise the ceiling, can't lower the floor   The only thing left is to build a door      A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall   That's all   A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall   It might fall      You get a hammer and I'll get a saw   And we'll give this wall what-for   What we need between you and me   Is a door      We might get sweaty, might get dirty   A couple of splinters would be well worth it   We'll hang it right here, level and plumb   We'll shake hands on a job well done      Once that door's standing open   We'll get some communication going   We'll reach out and the next thing you know   This wall'll come down like Jericho      A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall   That's all   A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall   It might fall      So you get a hammer and I'll get a saw   And we'll give this wall what-for   What we need between you and me   Is a door      A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall   That's all   A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall   It might fall      You get a hammer and I'll get a saw   And we'll give this wall what-for   What we need between you and me   Is a door
