Interesting tune. However, the lyrics don’t make sense.

How many of today’s lyrics make sense?

Not uncommon during that era. Lucy was in the sky with diamonds, and someone was always leaving the cake out in the rain...

Nowadays lyrics make sense, like "who let the dogs out" and "I touch myself"

“However, the lyrics don’t make sense.”

They don’t make sense because the last two verses of the song were trimmed off to make it short enough for radio play back “in the day”.

Not an uncommon thing back then, as a song had to be short enough to fit on a 45 if you wanted the radio station to play it.

They might if you're high.
