Songtext

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A7
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave their folk music behind;
D7
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
      A7
Tryin'  to get a fish on the line
     E7
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
    D7
And after every number they'd pass the hat

[Chorus]
  A7
McGuinn and McGuire just agettin' higher in L.A.
,
                        D7
You know where that's at
                        C7                A7
And no one's gettin' fat  except Mama Cass

[Verse 2]
   A7
Zal  he said, "Denny,
you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do,
let's go south."
D7
Denny said, "Zally, golly,
don't you think that I wish
 A7
I  could play guitar like you."
     E7
Zal, Denny,
and Sebastian sat at the Night Owl
    D7
And after every number they'd pass the hat

[Chorus]
  A7
McGuinn and McGuire still are gettin' higher in L.A.
,
                        D7
You know where that's at
                        C7                A7
And no one's gettin' fat  except Mama Cass

[Verse 3]
     A7
When Cass was a sophomore,
planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day
D7
Standin' on the turnpike,
thumb out to hitchhike
A7
"Take me to New York right away."
     E7
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
D7
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps

[Chorus]
  A7
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at
D7                        C7                A7
  And no one's gettin' fat  except Mama Cass

[Verse 4]
A7
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps,
big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
D7
Make up, break up,
everything is shake up;
     A7
Guess  it had to be that way
  E7
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful;
  D7
Michelle, John,
and Denny gettin' very tuneful

[Chorus]
  A7
McGuinn and McGuire just are catchin' fire in L.A.
,
                        D7
You know where that's at
                           C7                A7
And everybody's gettin' fat  except Mama Cass
Tgr too, too, too
                   A7
Tgr too, oh, oh, oh

[Instrumental]
| D7 | -  | A7 | -  |

[Verse 5]
       A7
Broke, busted, disgusted,
agents can't be trusted
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
D7
Cass can't make it;
she says we'll have to fake it
   A7
We knew she'd come eventually
    E7
Greasin' on American Express cards;
D7
Tents low rent,
but keeping out the heat's hard
A7
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
                        D7
Can't go on indefinitely

[Chorus]
    D7                       C7
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality

[Outro]
