Pretty Far Out Lyrics - The Limeliters

When I came home the other night about a quarter to three, 

There was a Cadillac in the carport where my Volkswagen ought to be. 

I said to my wife, "Now, Darling, explain this thing to me. 

What's a Cadillac doing in the carport where my Volkswagen ought to be?" 

And she said, "Oh, you silly! Can't you plainly see? 

It's nothing but a freezer chest Sears Roebuck delivered to me." 

I've traveled this world over - a million miles or more. 

But tail fins on a freezer chest I never did see before. 

No! Tail fins on a freezer chest I never did see before!" 

When I came home the very next night, what waited there for me? 

There was a woofer in my hi-fi where the tweeter ought to be. 

I said to my wife, my pretty little wife, "Explain this thing to me. 

What's a woofer doing in my hi-fi where the tweeter ought to be?" 

And she said, "Oh, you silly! Can't you plainly see? 

It's nothing but a tea tray your mother sent to me." 

I've traveled this world over - a million miles or more. 

But a tea tray playing Mozart I never did see before. 

A tea tray playing Mozart I never did see before!" 

When I came home just last night, so tired I could not see, 

There was another head on the pillow where my head ought to be. 

I said to my wife, "Now, Sweetheart, explain this thing to me. 

What's another head doing on the pillow where my head ought to be?" 

And she said, "Oh, you silly! Can't you plainly see? 

It's just a modern sculpture Picasso sent to me." 

I've traveled this world over - from sea to shining sea. 

But a statue blowing smoke rings is pretty far out for me. 

A statue blowing smoke rings is pretty far out for me!" 

(spoken) Fortunately, I am NOT of a suspicious nature or I might easily have misconstrued the entire sequence of events." 

(sung) Pretty far, pretty far, pretty far, pretty far, 

Pretty far out for me!
