1
From the album sunshine superman
2
We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,
3
About a-midnight hour
4
And it almost b-b-blew my mind,
5
I got caught in a coloured shower.
6
All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset,
7
I saw a sign in the sky
8
It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip,"
9
I couldn't keep up up if I tried.
10
Ah, we stepped down to reality company
11
To get some instant sleep
12
And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back"
13
He smiled and he said, "Beep beep".
14
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
15
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
16
What goes on all around me,
17
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
18
When in should come-a my dream woman,
19
She got sequins in her hair,
20
Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film,
21
She sat in a white straw chair
22
But I thought I'd take a second look
23
Just to see what I could see
24
And my scene had popped out like a bubble does,
25
There was nobody there but me.
26
I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me,
27
But you ain't in a Wonderland
28
You know I might-a be there to greet you, child,
29
When your trippin' ship touches sand."
30
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
31
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
32
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
33
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
34
A silver goblet of wine is-a to be
35
Held in a bejewelled glove
36
And her knights they toast the tournament,
37
The falcons they fly above.
38
And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight
39
But the jester she cries alone,
40
Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell
41
To make the devil's white knights moan
42
And-a all in all, the seagull said,
43
"As I look to where I've been,
44
The whole wide human race
45
Has a-taken far too much Methedrine".
46
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
47
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
48
What goes on ? So near
49
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
50
Yeah well, come on.
51
We sat in a velvet jewel case
52
With sparkles everywhere,
53
And Julian he sat on a diamond ring
54
And-a talked of the days gone by.
55
We spoke of a common kaleidoscope
56
And the pros and the cons of Zen
57
And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake
58
He really did have a yen.
59
Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter",
60
A broken hour glass in his hand,
61
And-a Joannie sat in a white lace
62
Looking cool with a black lace fan.
63
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
64
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
65
What goes on ? Yes please tell me.
66
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
