Lyrics:
I was walking along minding my business
When out of an orange colored sky
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful you came by!

I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
when out of that orange colored view
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! I got a look at you!

One look and I yelled "Timber!"
Watch out for flying glass
Then the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout
I've been hit, this is it, this is it

I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Out of an orange colored sky!

one look and I yelled "Timber!"
Watch out for flying glass
'cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout
I've been hit, this is it, this is it

I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful you came by!

Out of an orange colored, purple spotted
Pretty green and polka dot sky
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! And goodbye!
