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'

Doot, doot, doo, lookin' out my back door

There's a giant doin' cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels

Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn

Dinosaur Victrola, listenin' to Buck Owens

Doot, doot, doo, lookin' out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playin' in the band

Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doot, doo doo

Wondrous apparition, provided by magician

Doot, doot, doo, lookin' out my back door

[Guitar solo]

Tambourines and elephants are playin' in the band

Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doot, doo doo

Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows

Doot, doot, doo, lookin' out my back door

[Guitar solo]

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy

Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn

Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows

Doot, doot, doo, lookin' out my back door
