We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A., 

About a-midnight hour 

And it almost b-b-blew my mind, 

I got caught in a coloured shower. 

All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset, 

I saw a sign in the sky 

It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip," 

I couldn't keep up up if I tried. 

Ah, we stepped down to reality company 

To get some instant sleep 

And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back" 

He smiled and he said, "Beep beep". 

What goes on? Chick-a-chick. 

What goes on? I really wanna know. 

What goes on all around me, 

What goes on? I really wanna know. 

When in should come-a my dream woman, 

She got sequins in her hair, 

Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film, 

She sat in a white straw chair 

But I thought I'd take a second look 

Just to see what I could see 

And my scene had popped out like a bubble does, 

There was nobody there but me. 

I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me, 

But you ain't in a Wonderland 

You know I might-a be there to greet you, child, 

When your trippin' ship touches sand." 

What goes on? Chick-a-chick. 

What goes on? I really wanna know. 

What goes on? Chick-a-chick. 

What goes on? I really wanna know. 

A silver goblet of wine is-a to be 

Held in a bejewelled glove 

And her knights they toast the tournament, 

The falcons they fly above. 

And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight 

But the jester she cries alone, 

Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell 

To make the devil's white knights moan 

And-a all in all, the seagull said, 

"As I look to where I've been, 

The whole wide human race 

Has a-taken far too much Methedrine". 

What goes on? Chick-a-chick. 

What goes on? I really wanna know. 

What goes on? So near 

What goes on? I really wanna know. 

Yeah well, come on. 

We sat in a velvet jewel case 

With sparkles everywhere, 

And Julian he sat on a diamond ring 

And-a talked of the days gone by. 

We spoke of a common kaleidoscope 

And the pros and the cons of Zen 

And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake 

He really did have a yen. 

Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter", 

A broken hour glass in his hand, 

And-a Joannie sat in a white lace 

Looking cool with a black lace fan. 

What goes on? Chick-a-chick. 

What goes on? I really wanna know. 

What goes on? Yes please tell me. 

What goes on? I really wanna know.
