[00:14.401] John and mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
[00:17.232] Just to leave the folk music behind
[00:20.884] Zal and denny workin' for a penny
[00:23.947] Tryin' to get a fish on the line
[00:26.985] In a coffee house sebastian sat
[00:30.730] And after every number they'd pass the hat
[00:34.158] Mcguinn and mcguire just a-gettin' higher
[00:37.067] In l.a., you know where that's at
[00:40.656] And no one's gettin' fat except mama cass
[00:47.359] Zally said
[00:48.219] "denny, you know there aren't many"
[00:50.285] "who can sing a song the way
[00:51.908] That you do, let's go south"
[00:54.235] Denny said "zally, golly,
[00:55.672] Don't you think that i wish"
[00:57.022] "i could play guitar like you"
[01:00.449] Zal, denny and sebastian sat (at the night owl)
[01:03.981] And after every number they'd pass the hat
[01:07.261] Mcguinn and mcguire still a-gettin higher
[01:10.247] In l.a., you know where that's at
[01:13.543] And no one's gettin' fat except mama cass
[01:20.340] When cass was a sophomore,
[01:22.152] Planned to go to swarthmore
[01:23.427] But she changed her mind one day
[01:26.972] Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
[01:30.237] "take me to new york right away"
[01:33.472] When denny met cass he gave her love bumps
[01:37.016] Called john and zal and that was the mugwumps
[01:40.184] Mcguinn and mcguire couldn't get no higher
[01:43.177] But that's what they were aimin' at
[01:46.660] And no one's gettin' fat except mama cass
[01:53.527] Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
[01:56.501] Don't you work as hard as you play
[01:59.902] Make up, break up, everything is shake up
[02:03.108] Guess it had to be that way
[02:06.370] Sebastian and zal formed the spoonful
[02:09.918] Michelle, john, and denny gettin' very tuneful
[02:13.064] Mcguinn and mcguire just a-catchin' fire
[02:15.883] In l.a., you know where that's at
[02:19.468] And everybody's gettin' fat except mama cass
[02:23.343] Di-di-di-dit dit dit di-di-di-dit, who-o-oa
[02:59.029] Broke, busted, disgusted,
[03:00.885] Agents can't be trusted
[03:02.573] And mitchy wants to go to the sea
[03:06.022] Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
[03:08.935] We knew she'd come eventually
[03:12.399] Greasin' on american express cards
[03:15.849] It's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
[03:19.030] Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
[03:22.081] Can't go on indefinitely
[03:25.440] And california dreamin' is becomin' a reality
