There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels

Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
  G                 Em

Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo doo doo
  G                       Em
A wond'rous apparition provided by magicians

Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door
