After studying the lyrics, one must wonder what chemicals were involved in their creation.
"Lookin' Out My Back Door"
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'
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 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 flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo
A wondrous apparition provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
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
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
Note: the writer's comment below
John Fogerty’s ode to a situation many often find themselves in – having a circus appear in your backyard. Fogerty has admitted that he and the band largely eschewed drugs (outside a little pot), and that the song was likely inspired by the Dr. Seuss classic “And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street”.
I am surprised Wendell didn't see this, as he loves CCR's music... ♫♪
He also loves ELO. I think there is a concert on August 30th in Portland for ELO.... hmmm.... 🤔
