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

          Listenin' to Buck Owens.

          Doo, doo, doo Lookin' out my back door.
 

          Tambourines and elephants

          Are playin' 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.
 

          Tambourines and elephants

          Are playin' 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.
 

          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.
