Creeque 衚衕 (1967)

Creeque 衚衕 - The Mamas & The Papas (爸爸媽媽樂隊)

Lyrics by：John Phillips/Michelle Phillips

Composed by：John Phillips/Michelle Phillips

John and mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy

Just to leave their folk music behind

Zal and denny workin' for a penny

Tryin' to get a fish on the line

In a coffee house sebastian sat

And after every number they'd pass the hat

Mcguinn and mcguire just a-gettin' higher in la

You know where that's at

And no one's gettin' fat except mama cass

Zal he said denny you know there aren't many

Who can sing a song the way

That you do let's go south

Denny said zally golly don't

You think that I wish

I could play guitar like you

Zal denny and sebastian sat at the night owl

And after every number they'd pass the hat

Mcguinn and mcguire still a-gettin higher in la

You know where that's at

And no one's gettin' fat except mama cass

When cass was a sophomore planned to go to swarthmore

But she changed her mind one day

Standin' on the turnpike thumb out to hitchhike

Take me to new york right away

When denny met cass he gave her love bumps

Called John and zal and that was the mugwumps

Mcguinn and mcguire couldn't get no higher

But that's what they were aimin' at

And no one's gettin' fat except mama cass

Mugwumps high jumps low slumps big bumps

Don't you work as hard as you play

Make up break up everything is shake up

Guess it had to be that way

Sebastian and zal formed the spoonful

Michelle John and denny gettin' very tuneful

Mcguinn and mcguire just a-catchin' fire in la

You know where that's at

And everybody's gettin' fat except mama cass

Broke busted disgusted agents can't be trusted

And mitchy wants to go to the sea

Cass can't make it she says we'll have to fake it

We knew she'd come eventually

Greasin' on american express cards

Tents low rent but keeping out the heat's hard

Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations

Can't go on indefinitely

And california dreamin' is becomin' a reality
