the mamas and the papas - creeque alley lyrics
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 p-ss 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 c-ss.
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 p-ss 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 c-ss.
when c-ss was a soph-m-re, 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 c-ss he gave her love b-mps;
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 c-ss.
mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big b-mps –
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;
mich-lle, 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 c-ss.
broke, busted, disgusted, agents can’t be trusted,
and mitchie wants to go to the sea.
c-ss 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…
