Looking Out My Back Door


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

Got a sore shoulder
List'ning 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
Doo, doo doo

Wond'rous apparition
Provided 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
Doo, doo doo

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
