Lyrics

Checking Out the World The other morning 'bout half-past three lounging round so sinfully I went to turn on my TV In the corner that cat was watching me He was checking out the world, just like me. checking out the world; what did he see? Later on when the flick was through I stepped out in the first dew It took a minute to stretch my eyes Then all at once, to my surprise, I was checking out the world and the big oak trees checking out the world what did I see? Then an old train whistle blew and the dog came walking too Through the moonlight we kept stride and the wife and the babies were asleep inside They were checking out the world just like me checking out the world what do they see? Checking out the world from the catbird seat Checking out the world past midnight deep Checking out the world that's as it seems in sweet dreams, and moonbeams . . .
