1.Theme From The Monkees
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
We go wherever we want to,
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
We're just tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young gneration,
And we've got something to say.
Any time, or anywhere,
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
(break)
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
We're just tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young gneration,
And we've got something to say.
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
Extra verse:
Hey, hey, we're the monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be comin' to your town.
2.Saturday's Child
By david gates
Monday had a sad child
Always feeling low down,
Tuesday had a dream child
She's always on the go
Now i'm in love with saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that saturday's child is mine.
If you love a wednesday
You'll live your life apart now
And if you love a thursday
She's gonna break your heart,
So i'm in love with saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that saturday's child is mine.
Seven days of the week made to choose from
But only one is right for me
I know that saturday's got what it takes, babe.
I can tell by the way she looks at me
Friday likes the good life
She'll take you for a ride now
And sunday makes a good wife
But she wants to be a bride
So i'm in love with saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that saturday's child is mine.
3.I Wanna Be Free
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me say you like me,
But when i need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Oh-oh-oh
I wanna hold yur hand,
Walk along the sadn
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm september wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, i gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

5.Papa Gene's Blues
By michael nesmith
No heartaches felt no longer lonely
Heights of waiting finally won me
Happiness that's all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspriation
I look toward a destination
Sunny bright that once before was blue
I have no more than i did before
But now i've got all that i need
For i love you and i know you love me
So take my hand i'll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he's alone
For strength is mine when we're together
And with you i know i'll never
Have to pass the high road for the low
I have no more than i did before
But now i've got all that i need
'cause i love you and i know you love me
Yes, i love you and i... know... you....love....me!!!!!!!!
6.Take A Giant Step
Words:Gerry goffin and carole king
music:Gerry goffin and carole king
Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time you felt like you did then.
There's just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again at last.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.
You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you there's no relieve
But i swear i'll prove you wrong.
Don't stay in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom.
That's not where you belong
Come with me i'll take you where the tast of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.

You can be be there by four thirty,
'cause i made your reservation.

And i don't know if i'm ever coming home.

8.This Just Doesn't Seem To Be My Day
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
I guess i should have stayed in bed,
My pillow wrapped 'round my head.
Instead of waking up to find
A nightmare of a different kind.
She went away,
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
She didn't have to say a lot,
Her pretty eyes revealed the plot.
'twas someone else she want more,
And so i walked her to the door.
What can i say?
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
My, oh my, how sad am i.
How i wish she would have stayed
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
My whole world is upside down,
She turned my smile into a frown.
It's such a pity the shape i'm in,
I must get on my feet again.
Can't stay this way
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
9.Let's Dance On
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

10.I'll Be True To You(Yes I Will)
By gerry goffin and russ titelman
I'll be true to you, yes i will.
I'll be true to you, yes i will.
I won't look twice when the other girls go by.
I'll be true to you, yes i will.
Somehow this time it's all so clear to me.
The way to go is easy to see.
My heart is sure you're the girl i've waited for.
And i'll be true to you, yes i will.
I used to be the kind,
Who said that ev'ry girl's the say
And love was just a game for having fun,
But when i looked at you,
I knew that i was wrong
And that i really could belong to only one.
I'll be true to you, yes i will.
Ev'ry dream that you have, i'll fulfill.
I never promised this to anyone before
But i'll be true to you, yes i will.
Yes, i'll be true to you, yes i will.
11.Sweet Young Thing
By gerry goffin, carole king and michael nesmith
Know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else i am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that i must yield before
The wisdom of a child
And it's love you bring,
No that i can't deny,
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.
People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But i resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down..
Turned on to the sunset,
Like i've never done before.
And i listen for your footsteps
And your know upon the door.
And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When i seem them in your eyes
Sweet young thing.
12.Gonna Buy Me A Dog
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
You know my girl just called me up
And she woke me from my sleep
You should have heard the things she said
You know she hurt my feelings deep.
'cause i need a friend now. [say, you need all the friends you
can get]
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.
She used to bring me my newspaper
'cause she knew where it was at.
She used to keep me so contented.
But i can teach a dog to do that.
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
'cause i need a friend now
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.
