I’ll assume Will Anderson was correct in identifying this song. IMDb confirms that it was used in the soundtrack, but I haven’t watched the film recently and can’t confirm that it appeared in the scene that Ulker described. Since the lyrics were never posted, I’ll post them now. (25 years later!)


LOOKIN’ OUT MY BACK DOOR
Words and music by John Fogerty
As recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival on “Cosmo’s Factory” (1970)

Just got home from Illinois.
Lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.

Imagination sets in.
Pretty soon I'm singin’:
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door.

There's a giant doin’ cartwheels,
A statue wearin’ high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn!

A dinosaur Victrola,
Listenin’ to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doo, doo, doo.

Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician.
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door.

[break]

Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doo, doo, doo.

Bother me tomorrow,
Today, I'll buy no sorrow.
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door.

[break]

Forward troubles Illinois.
Lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn!

Bother me tomorrow.
Today, I'll buy no sorrow.
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door.
