Verse 1
BJohn and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music beB7hind
EZal and Denny workin' for a penny
BTryin' to get a fish on the line
In a F#coffee house Sebastian sat
And Eafter every number they'd pass the hat
BMcGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A.
You know where that's Eat
And no one's gettin' Dfat except Mama BCass
Verse 2
BZally said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you B7do." Let's go south
EDenny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
BI could play guitar like you."
ECass can't make it she says we'll have to fake it
Zal, F#Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And Eafter every number they'd pass the hat
BMcGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A.
You know where that's Eat
And no one's gettin' Dfat except Mama BCass
Verse 3
BWhen Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one B7day
EStandin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
"BTake me to New York right away."
When F#Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
ECalled John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps
BMcGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' Eat
BZally said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
And no one's gettin' Dfat except Mama BCass
Verse 4
BMugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you B7play
EMake up, break up, everything is shake up
BGuess it had to be that way
F#Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful
EMichelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
BMcGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A.
You know where that's Eat
B B E B
And everybody's gettin' Dfat except Mama BCass

Verse 5
BBroke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
But she changed her mind one B7day
And Mitchy wants to go to the B7sea
ECass can't make it she says we'll have to fake it
We Bknew she'd come eventually
F#Greasin' on American Express cards
ETent's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
BDuffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefiniteEly
And California dreamin' is Dbecomin' a realiBty...
