Creeque Alley

 B7
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy

Just to leave the folk music behind
 E7
Zol and Denny workin' for a penny
 B7
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
        F#7
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
      E7
And after every number they'd pass the hat
  B7
Mcguinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
                               E7
In L.A., you know where that's at
                      D7               B7
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

 B7
Zolly said: Denny, you know there aren't many

Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south
  E7
Denny said: Zolly, golly, don't you think that I wish
B7
I could play guitar like you
      F#7
Zol, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
     E7
And after every number they'd pass the hat
  B7
Mcguinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher
                               E7
In L.A., you know where that's at
                      D7              B7
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

       B7
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore

But she changed her mind one day
 E7
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
 B7
Take me to New York right away
       F7
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
 E7
Called John and Zol and that was the Mugwumps
  B7
Mcguinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
                                  E7
But that's what they were aimin' at
                       D7             B7
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

 B7
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps

Don't you work as hard as you play
E7
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
 B7
Guess it had to be that way
  F#7
Sebastian and Zol formed the Spoonful
 E7
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
  B7
Mcguinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire
                                E7
In L.A., you know where that's at
                         D7              B7
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Di-di-di-dit dit dit di-di-di-dit, who-o-oa

 B7
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted

And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
 E7
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
B7
We knew she'd come eventually
  F#7
Greasin' on American Express cards
 E7
It's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
 B7
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
 E7
Can't go on indefinitely
                                       B7
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality
