Just got home from Illinois,
|
Lock the front door, oh, boy!
|
Got to sit down,
|
Take a rest on the porch.
|
Imagination sets in,
|
Pretty soon I'm singin'.
|
Doo, doo, doo,
|
Lookin' out my back door.
|
|
There's a giant doing cartwheels,
|
A statue wearin' high heels.
|
Look at all the happy
|
Creatures dancing on the lawn.
|
A Dinosaur Victrola
|
List'ning to Buck Owens.
|
Doo, doo, doo,
|
Lookin' out my back door.
|
|
Tambourines and elephants
|
Are playing in the band.
|
Won't you take a ride
|
On the flyin' spoon?
|
Doo, doo-doo.
|
Wond'rous apparition
|
Provided by magician.
|
Doo, doo, doo,
|
Lookin' out my back door.
|
|
Tambourines and elephants
|
Are playing in the band.
|
Won't you take a ride
|
On the flyin' spoon?
|
Doo, doo-doo.
|
Bother me tomorrow,
|
Today I'll buy no sorrows.
|
Doo, doo, doo,
|
Lookin' out my back door.
|
|
Forward troubles Illinois,
|
Lock the front door, oh, boy!
|
Look at all the happy
|
Creatures dancing on the lawn.
|
Bother me tomorrow,
|
Today I'll buy no sorrows.
|
Doo, doo, doo,
|
Lookin' out my back door.
