I just got home from Illinois, locked the front door, oh boy   I got to sit down, take a rest on the porch   Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin'   Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my backdoor      There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels   Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn   Dinosaur Victrola listenin' to Buck Owens   Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my backdoor      Well, tambourines and elephants are playin' in the band   Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo, doo   A wond'rous apparition provided by a magician   Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my backdoor      Well, tangerines and elephants are playin' in the band   Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo doo   A wond'rous apparition provided by a magician   Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door      Well, forward troubles, Illinois, I locked the front door, oh boy   Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn   Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow   Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my backdoor
