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
Doot, doot, doo, looking 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
Dinosaur Victrola, listening to Buck Owens
Doot, doot, doo, looking out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't take a ride on the flying spoon, dootin' doo doo
Wondrous apparition, provided by magician
Doot, doot, doo, looking out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Take a ride on the flying spoon, dootin' doo doo
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, looking 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
Doot, doot, doo, looking out my back door
