[Verse 1]

Sit yourself down

And think of what you'd like to do today

Then take a look around

And if the sky kind of looks a little gray

Just take a hook on a dream

Watch your cares all start runnin’

Your smile won't stop comin'

[Chorus 1]

When you take a mind excursion

It’s just a slight diversion

You might come out a winner

In a bullfight in Spain

Paint your face like an Injun

And dance for some rain

Get on your magic carpet

'Cause nothing can stop it, no

[Verse 2]

Open up your eyes

Excitement would like to be your friend

Try him on for size

He may lead you to the rainbow's end

You've got your ticket to glide

And while the sun's gettin' brighter

Your head's gettin' lighter

[Chorus 2]

When you take a mind excursion

It’s just a slight diversion

You might drive out your window

In your own private car

Watch the whole world go rollin’

From the top of a star

Get on your magic carpet

'Cause nothing can stop it, oh

[Outro]

Take a mind excursion

It’s just a slight diversion

You can take a mind excursion

It's just a slight diversion

You can take a mind excursion

It's just a slight diversion...
