Bb                           Gm
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
Eb              Bb              F
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
  Bb                Gm
A dinosaur Victrola listening 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?
  Bb                     Gm
A wondrous apparition provided by magician
Eb        Bb          F           Bb
Doo, doo, doo lookin' out my back door
