Intro
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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.
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,
doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.
Instrumental
Chorus
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band,

Solo
Verse 3
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.
