LOOKIN' OUT MY BACK DOOR

LOOKIN' OUT MY BACK DOOR
Words and music by John Fogerty

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',

CHORUS:
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.

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.

CHORUS

Tambourines and elephants
are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride
on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow,
today, I'll buy no sorrows.

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'll buy no sorrows.

CHORUS
