Lookin' out my backdoor

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 list'ning to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doot, doot doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today I buy no sorrows.
Doo, doot, doo, lookin' out my back door.

CHORUS

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today I buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.


i've been singing this song for a very long time now. Sandy had the CD (another mystery, it's disappeared) so i'm stuck with the RECORD! but still good.
it's kinda like about nothing though...

  • lol I grew up with that song. Guess that's what you get for growing up in a town that only gets AM radio.. but you city slickers probably dont know what that is, right?

  • City Slickers enjoy music from the 4 more recent decades in history. :>
