Lyrics

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'


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 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

A 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 buy no sorrows


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 buy no sorrows


Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
