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

'Cause the ceiling fell 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.
