Lyrics

Just got home from Illinois
Locked 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
A 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 flying spoon
A Wonderous 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 flying spoon
Bother me tomorrow today
I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
Just got home from Illinois
Locked the front door
Oh, boy
Got to sit down take a rest on the porch
Bother me tomorrow
Today I buy no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
