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'

Chorus
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
A dinosaur Victrola
list'ning to Buck Owens

Chorus

Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon ?
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician

Chorus

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 sorrows

Chorus

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

Chorus
