R - O - C - K
Rock
Making
R - from an eight to the bar eighty-eight
O - from the told of the sax syncopated
C - fron the key of the six-strings guitar
K - from the kick of the rim shot baby
That's how they made it
That's how they played it
R - O - C - K
Rock
I know my A's, and my B's, and my C's's
P's and my Q's and my X, W, Z's's
No, how to lose all the blue, blue, blues's
Jump in a pair of my dancin' shoes's
Take with my baby
Rock with my baby
R - O - C - K
Rock
Oh Strauss this comin' waltzes
A handy man found the blues
And here I came along with the rockin' song
Crazy man, crazy
Crazy news.
R - is all the rock, here's the band, it's a movin'
O - more than act, it's a go, go, groovin'
C - what I mean is a heart attack action
K - like a kiss is a cool attraction
Who even getcha
I'm gonna betcha
R - O - C - K
Rock

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
List'ning 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
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
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
