16 One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small (1967)

18 Purple haze all in my brain Lately things just don’t seem the same Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why ’scuse me while I kiss the sky Purple haze all around Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down Am I happy or in misery? What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me (1967)

19 In-a-gadda-da- vida honey, don'tcha know that I love you? In-a-gadda-da- vida baby, don'tcha know that I'll always be true? Oh won'tcha come with me, and take my hand? Oh won'tcha come with me, and walk this land? (1968)

20 Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she’s gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. (1967)

21 You know the day destroys the night Night divides the day Tried to run Tried to hide Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side, yeah (1967)
