CREEQUE ALLEY

John and Michie Were gettin' kind of itchy Just to leave the folk music behind Zol and Denny Workin' for a penny Tryin' to get a fish on the line In a coffee house Sebastian sat And after every number they passed the hat McGuin and McGuire just a gettin' higher In L.A., you know where that's at And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass Zolly said,“Denny You know there aren't many Who can sing a song the way that you do Let's go south" Denny said,“Zolly Golly, don't you think that I wish I could play guitar like you" Zol, Denny and Sebastian sat (At the Night Owl) And after every number they passed the hat McGuin and McGuire still a getting' higher In L.A., you know where that's at And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass When Cass was a sophomore Planned to go to Swathmore But she changed her mind one day Standin' on the turnpike Thumb out to hitchhike Take her to New York right away When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps Called John and Zol and that was the“Mugwumps" McGuin and McGuire couldn't get no higher But that's what they were aimin' at And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass Mugwumps, high jumps Low slumps, big bumps Don't you work as hard as you play Make up, break up Everything is shake up Guess it had to be that way Sebastian and Zol formed the“Spoonful" Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful McGuin and McGuire just catchin' fire In L.A., you know where that's at And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass Broke, busted, disgusted Agents can't be trusted And Michie wants to go to the sea Cass can't make it She says we'll have to fake it We knew she's come eventually Greasin' an American Express card Can slow rent but keepin' out the heat's hard Duffy's good vibration and our imaginations Can't go on indefinitely And“California Dreamin'" is becoming a reality
