Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy !
Got to sit down, take a r est 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 wearin' high heels,
look at all the happy creatures d ancing 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 ?
Wond'rous apparition, p rovided 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 ?
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows,
doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.
