Mamas & The Papas - Creeque Alley Lyrics
John and mitchie were gettin kinda itchieJust to leave the folk music behindZal and denny workin for a pennyTryin to get a fish on the lineIn a coffee house sebastian satAnd after every number they passed the hatMcguinn and mcguire just are gettin higherIn l.a. you know where thats atAnd no ones getting fat except mama cass.Zallie said denny, you know there arent manyWho can sing a song the way that you do (lets go south)Denny said zallie, golly, dont you think that I wishI could play guitar like youZal, denny and sebastian sat (at the night owl)And after every number they passed the hatMcguinn and mcguire just are gettin higherIn l.a. you know where thats atAnd no ones getting fat except mama cass.When cass was a sophomore, planned to go to swarthmore,But she changed her mind one dayStandign on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,Take her to new york right awayWhen denny met cass he gave her love bumpsCall john and zal, and that was the mugwumpsMcguinn and mcguire couldnt get no higherBut thats what they were aiming atAnd no ones getting fat except mama cass.Mugwumps, hi-jumps, low slumps, big bumps,Dont you work as hard as you playDrink-up, break-up, everything is shake-upGuess it had to be that waySebastian and zal formed the spoonfulMichelle, john and denny gettin very tunefulMcguinn and mcguire just are catchin fireIn l.a. you know where thats atAnd everybodys gettin fast except mama cass.Broke, busted, disgusted, agents cant be trusted,And mitchie wants to go to the seaCass cant make it, she says well have to fake itWe knew shed come eventuallyGreasin on american express cardTents, low rents, and keepin out the heats hardDuffys good vibrations, and our imaginations,Cant go on indefinitelyAnd california dreaming is becoming a reality.
