"Dandruff"

"Dandruff"

"supernatural? perhaps"

"change one tape and the entire process is re-geared
Leisure - the inevitable by-product of our civilization"

"the tragedy of your times, my young friends,
Is that you may get exactly what you want"

"out!" "oh"
"out, get out of here!" "why? what's going on?"
"move it! out!" "oh, hello officers, i'm certainly glad that..."
"shut up! ok, weirdos"

"alright, fellows, would you come forward please?" "who's that?"
"alright, now, jump up and down a little bit
Huh, fellows, get lost in it?" "jump up in this? what is this?"
"there you go, very good
Look, you're supposed to be dandruff, fellows
Would you work at it, please?" "dandruff?"
"jump up and down a little bit?" "dandruff?"
(dandruff dandruff dandruff)
"good, that's better"

"Daydream Believer"

"Daydream Believer"

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

[Instrumental interlude]

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
[Repeat and fade]

"Ditty Diego - War Chant"

"Ditty Diego - War Chant"

Well?
Are you kidding? ha ha!
Hey, now, wait a minute!

Hey, hey, we are the monkees
You know we love to please
A manufactured image
With no philosophies

We hope you like our story
Although there isn't one
That is to say, there's many
That way there is more fun

You told us you like action
And games of many kinds
You like to dance, we like to sing
So let's all lose our minds

We know it doesn't matter
'cause what you came to see
Is what we'd love to give you
And give it one, two, three

But it may come three, two, one, two
Or jump from nine to five
And when you see the end in sight
The beginning may arrive

For those who look for meanings
In form as they do fact
We might tell you one thing
But we'd only take it back

Not back like in a box, back
Not back like in a race
Not back so we can keep it
But back in time and space

You say we're manufactured
To that we all agree
So make your choice and we'll rejoice
In never being free

Hey, hey, we are the monkees
We've said it all before
The money's in, we're made of tin
We're here to give you more

We want the monkees

Give me a "w"
Give me an "a"
Give me an "r"
What does it spell?

"Do Not Ask For Love (Prithee)"

"Do Not Ask For Love (Prithee)"

And is it so, once you thou art returning?
Hast thou lost thy way as once before?
I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be.
I shall not be thy refuge once more.

Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But I shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.

So go my way, and soon I shall go likewise.
And if thy path be high, then be mine low.
Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not.
For soon they shall be covered with snow.

Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But I shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.

I prithee, do not ask for love once more.

"Do You Feel It Too?"

"Do You Feel It Too?"

I'm like a toy balloon
And someone cruel has cut the string
I'm drifting out of sight
My head's too light to find a thing
Oh baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Being with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me

And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?

I can't believe my ears
You know I hear such crazy sounds
Each time I talk to you
And walk with you I'm off the ground
Oh baby, love is great, you just can't top it
Got the ball we mustn't drop it
Girl there ain't a thing can stop it now

And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?
Tell me baby

Oh baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Being with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me

And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?

"Don't Bring Me Down"

"Don't Bring Me Down"

It used to be such a good thing
Such an easy feeling
I didn't know you were looking
Didn't know you were stealing

I was loving you when we were alone
But you had other ideas of your own
Word gets around
Don't bring me down

We used to have us some good times
Used to laugh together
It took awhile to realize
You were wantin' something better

When we were kissin' I closed my eyes
But you were lookin' at the other guys
I played the clown
Don't bring me down

It used to be such a good thing
Such an easy feelin'
I didn't know you were lookin'
I didn't know you were stealing

I went and messed it up and fell in love
But you sure know how to make it rough
You're still around
Don't bring me down

"Don't Call On Me"

"Don't Call On Me"

Don't call on me
When you're feeling footloose, and fancy-free.
You've done that before,
And like a fool I came back for more.
It's all over now,
I've finally seen my way.
I need you no more,
Not now or any other day.

OK, little girl, live for yourself
In your own little world.
I know that you'll find
Someone who'll play and love you,
Be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind.

"Don't Listen To Linda"

"Don't Listen To Linda"

Don't listen to Linda
She said all those things before
She's just a pretender,
And though you couldn't love her more
She'll lead you on, and then one day
She'll say you'll have to part
Don't listen to Linda
She'll only break your heart.

Don't listen to Linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, she'll do it twice
There's more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

You'll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, don't underestimate her,
'cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.

Don't listen to Linda,
Don't believe the things you hear.
You'll end up, contender,
For the "Loser Of The Year".
I've said everything I can
To try and make you see
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

"Don't Wait For Me"

"Don't Wait For Me"

Don't wait for me...I'll be a long time comin'
Unless by then, you have told me something
To show how much you care
I've done much more than as a man I should have
Why did you...not do all you could have...to show
How much you care?

Over and again I've wondered was I wrong
Kept thinkin' that I maybe shoulda come along
But there comes a time in every man's life
When he must be strong
And my time's come
And if you're gone
Then I guess I'll cry and hold to memories
Of "what might have beens"
And when I finally leave
That will show how much I care.
[repeat]

"Dream World"

"Dream World"

Walking around with your head in the clouds
You don't care.
Why must you walk when you know
You're not going anywhere.

Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.

Always pretending that everything's fine
When it's not.
Why must you lie when you know that
You'll aways get caught.

Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.

[Instrumental]

Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.
You'll see.
You'll see.
