From the album sunshine superman |
|
We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A., |
|
About a-midnight hour |
|
And it almost b-b-blew my mind, |
|
I got caught in a coloured shower. |
|
All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset, |
|
I saw a sign in the sky |
|
It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip," |
|
I couldn't keep up up if I tried. |
|
Ah, we stepped down to reality company |
|
To get some instant sleep |
|
And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back" |
|
He smiled and he said, "Beep beep". |
|
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
|
What goes on all around me, |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
|
When in should come-a my dream woman, |
|
She got sequins in her hair, |
|
Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film, |
|
She sat in a white straw chair |
|
But I thought I'd take a second look |
|
Just to see what I could see |
|
And my scene had popped out like a bubble does, |
|
There was nobody there but me. |
|
I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me, |
|
But you ain't in a Wonderland |
|
You know I might-a be there to greet you, child, |
|
When your trippin' ship touches sand." |
|
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
|
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
|
A silver goblet of wine is-a to be |
|
Held in a bejewelled glove |
|
And her knights they toast the tournament, |
|
The falcons they fly above. |
|
And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight |
|
But the jester she cries alone, |
|
Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell |
|
To make the devil's white knights moan |
|
And-a all in all, the seagull said, |
|
"As I look to where I've been, |
|
The whole wide human race |
|
Has a-taken far too much Methedrine". |
|
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
|
What goes on ? So near |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
|
Yeah well, come on. |
|
We sat in a velvet jewel case |
|
With sparkles everywhere, |
|
And Julian he sat on a diamond ring |
|
And-a talked of the days gone by. |
|
We spoke of a common kaleidoscope |
|
And the pros and the cons of Zen |
|
And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake |
|
He really did have a yen. |
|
Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter", |
|
A broken hour glass in his hand, |
|
And-a Joannie sat in a white lace |
|
Looking cool with a black lace fan. |
|
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
|
What goes on ? Yes please tell me. |
|
What goes on ? I really wanna know. |
