The Mamas & The Papas - Creeque alley

^GJohn and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy Just to leave the folk music be^G7hind. ^CZal and Denny workin' for a penny, ^GTryin' to get a fish on the line. In a ^Dcoffee house Sebastian sat, And ^Cafter every number they'd pass the hat. ^GMcGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A., You know where that's ^Cat. And no one's gettin' ^A#fat except Mama ^GCass.

^GZally said, "Denny, you know there aren't many, who can sing a song the way that you ^G7do." ^CDenny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish, ^GI could play guitar like you." In a ^Dcoffee house they all sat.. And ^Cafter every number they'd pass the hat. ^GMcGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A., you know where that's ^Cat. And no one's gettin' ^A#fat except Mama ^GCass.

^GWhen Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore, But she changed her mind one ^G7day. ^CStandin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike, &^Gquot;Take me to New York right away." When ^DDenny met Cass he gave her love bumps.. ^Ccalled John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps. ^GMcGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher, but that's what they were aimin' ^Cat. And no one's gettin' ^A#fat except Mama ^GCass.

^GMugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps.. Don't you work as hard as you ^G7play. ^CMake up, break up, everything is shake up.. ^GGuess it had to be that way. ^DSebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful.. ^CMichelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful. ^GMcGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A., You know where that's ^Cat. And everybody's gettin' ^A#fat except Mama ^GCass.

^GBroke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted, And Mitchy wants to go to the ^G7sea. ^CCass can't make it..she says we'll have to fake it.. We ^Gknew she'd come eventually. ^DKeepin' on the American Express card.. ^Ctent's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard. ^GDuffy's good vibrations and our imaginations, Can't go on indefinite^Cly. And California dreamin' is ^A#becomin' a reali^Gty...
