Well, if you hear somebody knocking on your door If you see something crawling across the floor Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you If you see a head a-peeping from a crawdad hole If you see somebody climbing up a telephone pole Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you I'm gonna look on the mountain and in the deep blue sea Gonna search all the forests and look and look in every tree Well, if you feel something heavy on your fishing hook If you see a funny face in your comic book Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you If you hear a thought calling out in the night If you see somebody hanging from a lamp post bright Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you Well if you see somebody looking in all the cars If you see a rocket ship on its way to Mars Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you Gonna look in the city where the lights are blue Gonna search the countryside, and all the haystacks, too We'll, if you see a new face on a totem pole If you find a lump in your sugar bowl Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you
