The Mamas & The Papas - Creeque alley

^FJohn and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy Just to leave the folk music be^C7hind. ^FZal and Denny workin' for a penny, ^FTryin' to get a fish on the line. In a ^Gcoffee house Sebastian sat, And ^Fafter every number they'd pass the hat. ^FMcGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A., You know where that's ^Fat. And no one's gettin' ^D#fat except Mama ^FCass.

^FZally said, "Denny, you know there aren't many, who can sing a song the way that you ^C7do." ^FDenny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish, ^FI could play guitar like you." In a ^Gcoffee house they all sat.. And ^Fafter every number they'd pass the hat. ^FMcGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A., you know where that's ^Fat. And no one's gettin' ^D#fat except Mama ^FCass.

^FWhen Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore, But she changed her mind one ^C7day. ^FStandin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike, &^Fquot;Take me to New York right away." When ^GDenny met Cass he gave her love bumps.. ^Fcalled John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps. ^FMcGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher, but that's what they were aimin' ^Fat. And no one's gettin' ^D#fat except Mama ^FCass.

^FMugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps.. Don't you work as hard as you ^C7play. ^FMake up, break up, everything is shake up.. ^FGuess it had to be that way. ^GSebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful.. ^FMichelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful. ^FMcGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A., You know where that's ^Fat. And everybody's gettin' ^D#fat except Mama ^FCass.

^FBroke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted, And Mitchy wants to go to the ^C7sea. ^FCass can't make it..she says we'll have to fake it.. We ^Fknew she'd come eventually. ^GKeepin' on the American Express card.. ^Ftent's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard. ^FDuffy's good vibrations and our imaginations, Can't go on indefinite^Fly. And California dreamin' is ^D#becomin' a reali^Fty...
