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,  lookin 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 listning  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 flying  spoon?
 Doo, doo doo
Wondrous  apparition provided  by magician.
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.
