B
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
                                                    B
Just to leave their folk music behind;
E
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
B
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
       F#
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
E
And after every number they'd pass the hat
B
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A.,
                                   E
You know where that's at
                                 D                 B
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

B
Zal he said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
                                                             B
Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south."
E
Denny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
B
I could play guitar like you."
     F#
Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
          E
And after every number they'd pass the hat
B
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin' higher in L.A.,
                                 E
You know where that's at
                                D                B
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

B
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
                                     B
But she changed her mind one day
E
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
B
"Take me to New York right away."
    F#
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
E
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps
B
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
                                               E
But that's what they were aimin' at
                                         D              B
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

B
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
                                              B
Don't you work as hard as you play
E
Make up, break up, everything is shake up;
B
Guess it had to be that way
F#
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful;
E
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
B
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A.,
                                  E
You know where that's at
                                D                       B
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

B
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
                                            B
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
E
Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it
              B
We knew she'd come eventually
F#
Greasin' on American Express cards;
E
Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
B
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
                          E
Can't go on indefinitely
                               D                            B
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality
