Letra de Creeque alley

John and Mitchie were gettin´ kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind;
Zal 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´d pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin´ higher in L.A.,
You know where that´s at.
And no one´s gettin´ fat except Mama Cass.
Zallie said, "Denny, you know there aren´t many
Who can sing a song the way that you do; let´s go south."
Denny said, Zallie, golly, don´t you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you."
Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they´d pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin 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 me to New York right away."
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.
McGuinn 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 Zal formed the ´Spoonful;
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin´ very tuneful.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-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 Mitchie wants to go to the sea.
Cass can´t make it; she says we´ll have to fake it -
We knew she´d come eventually.
Greasin´ on American Express cards;
Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat´s hard.
Duffy´s good vibrations and our imaginations
Can´t go on indefinitely.
And California dreamin´ is becomin´ a reality...
