The Mamas & The Papas – Creeque Alley (Ukulele)

F
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy

                               C7
Just to leave the folk music behind.

F
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny,

F
Tryin' to get a fish on the line.

     G
In a coffee house Sebastian sat,

    F
And after every number they'd pass the hat.

F
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A., 

                      F
You know where that's at.

                     D#              F
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

F
Zally said, "Denny, you know there aren't many,

                                     C7
who can sing a song the way that you do."

F
Denny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish,

F
I could play guitar like you."

     G
In a coffee house they all sat..

    F
And after every number they'd pass the hat.

F
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A.,

                      F
you know where that's at.

                     D#              F
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

F
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore,

                             C7
But she changed her mind one day.

F
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,

 F
"Take me to New York right away."

     G
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps..

F
called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.

F
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher,

                                 F
but that's what they were aimin' at.

                     D#              F
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

F
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps..

                              C7
Don't you work as hard as you play.

F
Make up, break up, everything is shake up..

F
Guess it had to be that way.

G
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful..

F
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.

F
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A., 

                      F
You know where that's at.

                        D#              F
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

F
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,

                              C7
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea.

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

   F
We knew she'd come eventually.

G
Keepin' on the American Express card..

F
tent's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.

F
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations,

                      F
Can't go on indefinitely.

                           D#              F
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality...
