Standard (EADGBE)
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.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur victrola listning 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?
Doo, doo doo
Wondrous apparition provided by magician.
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.
