​ 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, 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 A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens Doo, doo, doo, Looking 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 Wond'rous apparition provided by magician. Doo, doo, doo, Looking 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 Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows Doo, doo, 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 Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door
