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, lookin' 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
Dinosaur victrola listening to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon Doo, doo doo
Wondrous apparition provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door


Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon, doo, doo, doo
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll find no sorrow
Doo, Doo, Doo, lookin' 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 find no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
