Emaj7        F#m7
Wish I was a Kellogg's cornflake,
B              Emaj7
Floating in my bowl, taking movies,
Emaj7         F#m7 E           Emaj7
Relaxed in a while, living in style,
A                                            Emaj7
Talking to a raisin who occasionally plays L. A.

Emaj7    C#m7           Amaj7 B6
Casually glancing at his toupée

Wish I was an English muffin
'Bout to make the most out of a toaster
I'd ease myself down, comin' up brown
I prefer boysenberry more than any ordinary jam
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan

Ah, South California

If I become a first lieutenant
Would you put my photo on your piano?
"To Maryjane, best wishes, Martin"
Old Roger, draft-dodger
Leavin' by the basement door
Everybody knows what he's
Tippy-toeing down there for

Oh, really?
