Lyrics:

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, 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 sucker 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
Until I can unlock that lucky door
Well, she's no big deal to most folks
But she's everything to me
Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three

Oh Monty, Monty, Monty, I am walking down your hall
God be, I lost my seat but I'm not a man to crawl
No I didn't get rich you son of a bitch
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
Jimmy Buffett sometimes does a warmup for his tour at my local venue, called the bellyup tavern,  my favorite place to see music considering I can walk there.  I was able to score tickets, was a huge Buffett fan as a kid in high school and went to a bunch of shows acting like a stupid kid.  This is one of my all time favorites, the song is about a guy going on a game show, it goes:

I chose my apparel, 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!"

So I thought I'd thought it would be fun to request the song by holding a sign with those exact lyrics ("Kiss me I'm a baker, and Monty I sure need the dough!)  Jimmy squinted, read it aloud and said, ah door number three, yeah we can't play that.  It was still pretty cool nonetheless...
Bring this classic back!  Funny song and a very obscure Buffett song!  Open some ears to something different from him
