We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown l.a., about a-midnightb hour  and it almost b-b-blew my mind, i got caught in a coloured shower.  all the lights were a t-t-twinkling on snset,  i saw a sign in the sky  it said, "t-t-t-trip a t-trip, i trip,trip," i couldn't keep up up if i tried. ah, we stepped down to reality company  to get some instant sleep  and the driver turned, i said, "welcome back"  he smiled and he said, "beep beep." what goes n? chic-a-chick. what goes on? i really wanna know. what goes on all around me, what goes on? i really wanna know.
When in should come-a my dream woman, she got sequins in her hair, like she stepped out off a fellini film, she sat in a white straw chair  but i thought i'd take a second look  just to see what i could see  and my scene had popped out like  little bubble does, there was nobody there but me.  i sai, "girl, you driunk a lot of drink-me, but you ain't in wonderland  you know i might-a be there to greet you, child, when your trippin' ship touches the sand." what goes on? chick-a-chick. what goes on i really wanna know. what goes on? chick-a-chick. what goes on i really wanna know.
A silver goblet of wine is-ato be  held in a bejewelled glove  and the knights they toast the tournament, the falcons they fly above. and the queenwill drink of the dew tonight but the jester she cries alone, because merlin he spoke of an instant spell  to make the devil's white knights moan  and-a all and all, the seagull said, "as i look to where i've been, the whole human race  has a-taken far too much methedrine." what goes on? chick-a-chick. what goes on? i really wanna know. whaaat goes on? so near  what goes on? i really wanna know.
Yeah well, come on.
We sat in a velvet jewel case  with sparkles everywhere, and julian sat on a diamond ring  and-a talked of the days gone by. we spoke of a common kaleidoscope  and the pros and the cons of zen  and he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake  he really did have a yen.  bobby dylan he sat "the mad hatter", a broken hour glass in his hand, and-a joannie sat in a white lace  looking cool with a black lace fan. what goes on? chick-a-chick. what goes on? i really wanna know. what goes on? please tell me. what goes on? i really want to know.
