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
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
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
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
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

{Slowly}
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
