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, looking 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, looking out my back door Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band Won’t you take a ride on the flying spoon? Doo, doo doo A wondrous apparition, provided by magician Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band Won’t you take a ride on the flying spoon? Doo, doo doo Bother me tomorrow, today I’ll buy no sorrows Doo, doo, doo, looking 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 bide no sorrows Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door
