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 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 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
