Lyrics
I was walking along
Mindin' my business
When out of the orange colored sky
Flash, Bam, Alakazam,
Wonderful you came by
I was hummin' a tune
Drinkin' in sunshine
When out of that orange colored view
Wham, Bam, Alakazam,
I got a look at you.
One look and I yelled "timber"
Watch out for flying glass
'Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went in to a spin
And i started to shout
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it"
I was walking along
Mindin' my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, Bam, Alakazam,
Out of the orange colored sky
Well, one look and I yelled "timber"
Watch out for flying glass
'Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went in to a spin
And i started to shout
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it, I've been hit"
I was walkin' along
Mindin' my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, Bam, Alakazam,
Out of that orange colored,
Purple striped,
Pretty green polka-dot sky
Flash, Bam, Alakazam...
And goodbye
