Everybody Wants A Key To My Cellar
Composer(s): Ed Rose; Billy Baskette; Lew Pollace
Performer(s): Bert Williams



Down in my cellar, down in my cellar
I've been changing everything around 
I've a secret hidden there
I'll guard it with my life 
There's only one mistake I made 
I told it to my wife

Down in my cellar, down in my cellar
I've been having parties every night 
People that I never knew come up and talk to me
They're trying hard to find out where I hang my cellar key

Now everybody wants a key to my cellar, my cellar, my cellar
People who before wouldn't give me a tumble
Even perfect strangers are beginning to grumble
'Cause I won't let them have a key to my cellar 
They'll never get in just let them try
They can have my money
They can have my car
They can have my wife 
If they want to go that far
But they can't have the key that opens my cellar
If the whole darn world goes dry
