“Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)” by Kenny Rogers and The First Edition. Easily the most non-understandable lyric in the history of pop music. After forty-six years I finally had to Google the lyrics to figure out what he was really singing.
“Someone painted ‘April Fool’ in big black letters on a ‘Dead End’ sign.”
But it sounds like:
“Someone really echo smooth, looks like feathers on a din-din sign.”
I knew that couldn’t be right. Feathers on a din-din sign?!
My brother Mike said, this might be the feathers on the din-din sign they’re referring to. Now that’s really echo smooth, ain’t it?

Name-Brand Ketchup. 
He did say at last nights concert the words were made of an acid era … Lol
I must nominate “Sweet Hitchhiker” by CCR as the most marble-mouthed lyric ever. Nearly every word except the title is indecipherable.
“We could make music at the Greasy King.”
IIRC, Greasy King Music was Fogerty’s publishing company.
