1. 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: Do do do looking out my backdoor.
2. 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. Do do do looking out my backdoor.

Bridge. Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon.

Wond'rous apparition provided by magician. Do do do looking out my backdoor.
3. 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. Do do do looking out my backdoor.
Bridge. Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon.
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows. Do do do looking out my backdoor. (slow)
(muffled rhythm)
Do do do looking out my backdoor. (fast)
