[B]
We're getting kind of itchy just to leave the folk music behind.
[E] Saul and Denny [Bm] working for a [B] penny trying to get a [F#m] fish on the [B] line.
[F#] In a coffeehouse Sebastian sat [E] and after every number they passed the [F#m] hat.
McQueen and McQuire just are getting higher in LA you [E] know where that's at.
And no one's [D] getting [F#m] fat except [B] Mama Cass.
Saul and Denny you know there aren't many who can sing a song the way that you do.
Let's [E] go south.
Denny says, Saul and Donny don't you think that I wish [B] I could play guitar like you?
[F#] Saul and Denny and Sebastian sat.
[E]
[B] McQueen and McQuire still are getting higher in LA you [E] know where that's at.
And no one's [D] getting fat except [B] Mama Cass.
When Cass was a softball plan to go to Swarthmore but she changed her mind one day.
[E] Standing on the turnpike, come out [B] the hitchhike, take her to New York right away.
[F#] When Denny met Cass he gave her love [E] for her.
Paul's John and Saul and that was [B] the most fun.
McQueen and McQuire couldn't get no higher but that's what they [E] were aiming at.
And no [D] one's getting fat except [F#m] Mama [B] Cass.
Mugwums, high jumps, low slums, big bums don't you work as hard as you play.
[E] Make up, break up, everything is [B] shake up, yes it had to be that [F#] way.
Sebastian and Saul form a spoonful.
[E] Michelle, Don and Denny getting very [B] truthful.
McQueen and McQuire just are catching fire in LA you [E] know where that's at.
And everybody's [D] getting fat except [B] Mama Cass.
[E] [B]
[F#] [E]
[B] [Bm] [E]
[D] [B]
Oh
And then she wants to go to the [E] sea.
Cass can't make it she says we'll have to [B] fake it
We knew she'd come eventually.
[F#] Greasing on American Express [E] car
And slow rent for keeping out the [B] heat.
The peaceful vibrations in our imaginations
Can't go on [E] indefinitely
And California [D] dreaming is becoming a [B] reality
