Lyrics: Lookin’ Out My Back Door
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 OwensDoo, 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 magicianDoo, 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 sorrowsDoo, 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 sorrowsDoo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door
