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 singing
Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels
A statue wearing high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow
Today, I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo, looking 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, looking out my back door
