Cream - Doing That Scrapyard Thing Lyrics
When I was young they gave me a mongrel piano,
Spent all my time inventing the cup of tea.
Writing your name in the sea,
Banging my fav'rite head.
Balancing brass bands on the tip of my toe.
Phoning your home from my tree,
Drinking my fav'rite loch.
When I was old they gave me a model factory,
I met three salads out on the motorway.
Leaving your name at the door,
Breaking my fav'rite egg.
Missing the walrus, sharing my last banana,
Calling your name in the zoo,
Blowing my fav'rite mind.

Cream Doing That Scrapyard Thing Comments
And does it have to do anything with doing that scrapyard thing? Nooo but I love it <3 I can’t believe, right now, I am 19 years old and the people my age usually like the modern music of today but me on the other hand, cream is my type of music.
what a massive sound. the bassss. what are they using to get that walking "bow bow" sound?
The guitar and organ are going through Leslie speakers . The speakers rotate and they
have rotating horns on top as well . If you check out Jon Lord of Deep Purple live in
concert on YouTube ( there is lots out there ) you will see what I mean . Cheers .
Eric Clapton is also using a wah wah peddle .
Good bands can easily sell something as atypical as this.
“Breaking my favorite egg” Indeed.
Could easily have been a Traffic single. "Heaven is in Your Mind" etc.
favorite cream song. drinking my favorite love glub glub club
Umm.. not good. I love Cream, but not into this. Oh well.
Trulysarcastic44 this is amazing!! The guitar riffs in this song are out of this world!!!
Yes McCartney and Lennon going back and forth on vocals! Would've been on Abbey Road imo!
bought this album because of an ad for Longs Drugs, same place we all bought Mountain Climbing. Those were the days,,,,,
Yes they were.
Underrated song… I like this.
My favorite Cream song on my favorite Cream album and after 48 years I still don't understand what the hell it means.
come on, it's obviously about balancing zeppelins on the end of your nose!
I assume that's Jack singing - he sounds exactly like Gary Brooker of Procol Harum here. The bizarre lyrics recall Keith Reid of Procol, too.
Emily West now i see that as well! Love Procol Harum! Ty
Still fresh after all these years and nice arrangements
They don't make 'em like they use to. Such a great tune.
Love this, it sounds a bit Beatley and would've fit nicely onto The White Album.
Was just thinking as I was listening, did someone dare Cream to do their best Beatles?
Robert Middlemiss Beatles is my favorite band, but it reminds me more of Kinks
abbey road.
I never really thought of it before , but McCartney could have written this song .
He and Jack were mates . Pete Brown , of course wrote the nonsense lyrics .
Great song .
great song- but- totaly unic and not representive their style .. so - if that's what you liked from cream- than you might be dissapointed by other stuff ...
Heard 1st. time in Thailand 1973. Fantastic tune about what??? Makes more sense under influence of Thai Stick marijuana..
Triffic. First heard this over 40 years ago. Just as good now as it was then!
