v.1
When I got home the other night, it was dark as it could be
There was a Cadillac sittin' in the carport where my Volkswagen ought to be
I said to my wife "Now, darlin, explain this thing to me
Why's a Cadillac sittin' in the carport where my Volkswagen ought to be
She said "Oh you silly, can't you plainly see"
"It's nothing but a freezer chest Sears-Roebucks sent to me"
I've travelled this world over, a million miles or more
But tailfins on a freezer chest I never did see before
Tailfins on a freezer chest I never did see before
v.2
When I got home the other night it was a quarter to three
There was a woofer in my hi-fi where my tweeter ought to be
I said to my wife "Now, darlin, explain this thing to me
What's a woofer doin' in the hi-fi where my tweeter ought to be
She said "Oh you silly, can't you plainly see?
It's nothin' but a tea tray your mother sent to me"
I've travelled this world over, a million miles or more
But a tea tray playin' Mozart, I never did see before
A tea tray playin' Mozart I never did see before
v.3
When I got home the other night, so tired I could not see
There was another head on my pillow, where my head ought to be
I said to my wife "Now honey, explain this thing to me!"
What 's another head doin' on my pillow where my head ought to be?"
She said "Oh you silly, can't you plainly see?"
It's just a modern sculpture Picasso sent to me
Well, I 've travelled this world over, from sea to shining sea
But a statue blowin' smoke rings is pretty far out to me
Fortunately, I am not of a suspicious nature
Or I could have easily misinterpreted the entire sequence of events
Pretty far, pretty far, pretty far, pretty far
Pretty far out for me!
