This page is of the lyrics to my favorite Monkees songs. Not all of their songs will be listed, just my favorites, but believe me, that's a pretty long list. If I've made a mistake in any of the lyrics, please let me know and I will immediately correct it!
Of course, all lyrics are copyrighted. I had nothing to do with these great songs (like you didn't know, but I had to say it).
~~~Chantal
DAILY NIGHTLY Darken rollin' figures move thru prisms of no color Passion pastel neon lights, light up the jewel traveler Startled eyes that sometimes see, phantasmagoric splendor Salvations yours, but just in time it takes to pay the dancer The night has gone and taken it's infraction Sahara signs look down upon a world that glitters gleebly Second hands that might have slowed are moving even faster Words and music by: Michael Nesmith
Hand in hand they walk the night, but never know each other
Who lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams, find questions but no answers
Pirouette down paisley paths, with pennies for the vendor
Once again such anxious men find questions, but no answers
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one
And mountain sides puts arms around the unsuspecting city
Towards bringing down someone who's found the questions but no answers
She's a wonderful lady and she'll mine all mine
And there doesn't seem as way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's two easy humming songs to a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess
The four kings of E.M.I are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there
WHY DON'T YOU CUT YOUR HAIR?!
WHY DON'T YOU LIVE UP THERE?!
WHY DON'T YOU DO WHAT I DO, SEE WHAT I FEEL WHEN I CARE?
Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
The being known as "Wonder Girl" is speaking I believe
It's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave
WHY DON'T YOU BE LIKE ME?!
WHO DON'T YOU STOP AND SEE?!
WHY DON'T YOU HATE WHO I HATE, KILL WHO I KILL TO BE FREE?!
(BREAK)
WHY DON'T YOU CUT YOUR HAIR?!
WHY DON'T YOU LIVE UP THERE?!
WHY DON'T YOU DO WHAT I DO, SEE WHAT I FEEL WHEN I CARE?!
WHY DON'T YOU BE LIKE ME?!
WHY DON'T YOU STOP AND SEE?!
WHY DON'T YOU HATE WHO I HATE?!
KILL WHO I KILL TO BE FREE?!
WHY DON'T YOU CUT YOU HAIR?!
WHY DON'T YOU LIVE UP THERE?!
WHY DON'T YOU DO WHAT I DO, SEE WHAT I FEEL WHEN I CARE?!

AS WE GO ALONG
I can tell by your face
That you're looking to find a place
To settle your mind and reveal who you are
And you shouldn't..be shy
For I'm not gonna try
To hurt you, or heal, or steal your star
Chorus
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets, and let down your hair
And sit with me here by the firelight
Why think...all about
Who's gonna win out
We will make up our story As We Go Along
There's so...little time
For us...to try to rhyme
And so many highways, to travel upon
Chorus
Open your eyes
Get up off your chair
There's so much to do in the sunlight
Give up your secrets and let down your hair
And sit with me here by the firelight
Words and music by: Carol King & Toni Stern
When your dreams have died around you
She'll be there
When you need a hand to guide you
She'll be there
And when you feel rejected
'Cause life is not what you expected
I know that....she'll be there
If I hadn't lied and cheated
She'd be here
If she wasn't so mistreated
she'd be here
And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never, ever lose her
And she will always be there
I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now the place is with you
And I must face it
It's over, we're through
She'll be there...she'll be there...
And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never, ever lose her
And she will always be there
She'll be there....
She'll be there....
She'll be there....
THE PORPOISE SONG
My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
An image cannot rejoice
Wanting to be, to hear in to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing goodbye, goodbye...
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is all right for a while
The ego sings...
Of castles and kings and things that go
With a life of style
Wanting to feel
To know what is real
Living is a...is a lie
But the porpoise is waiting goodbye, goodbye...
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
Words and music by: Carol King & Gerry Goffin
When the world and I were young, just yesterday
Life was such a simple game a child could play
It was easy the to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight
Or just go along
CHORUS:
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only Shades of Gray
I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived without or tasted fear
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and to hate
The foolish from the wise
CHORUS:
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only Shades of Gray
Instrumental break
It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care
CHORUS:
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black of white
Only Shades of Gray
Only Shades of Gray

YOU TOLD ME
You told me you'd always stay, you told me
You told me you'd never stray, you told me
All these things you said you said sincerely
Still I am leavin you in spite of what you told me
I've heard things that did not match what you told me
And of your love that would not last as you told me
Forwarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving
I may be wrong I can't love what I'm just hearing
Times have made me shy
Of all the things you're saying
Time have made me shy
Of girls and all the games they are playing...
Someday I may see the truth of what you told me
I may find I left too soon and that you told me
Only things that you were honestly feeling
I must have more to love than what you told me
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me

SOCK IT TO ME...
Floatin' in the river
With a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And word gets 'round
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
Comin' up for air
It's pretty stuffy under there
And I say I didn't care
But I forget to leave a note
And it's so hard to stay afloat
Soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
It's front page news
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I wish I I had another drink
It wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that I could see my way to shore
Don't want no more
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
And now I see the life I've led
I slept it all the way in bed
I should have learn to swim instead
But now I'm feelin' kind of stumped
I can't believe why I jumped
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown...
I'm goin' down
Goin' down
I wish I looked before I leaped
I didn't know it was so deep
Been down so far I don't get wet
I haven't touched the bottom yet
This river scene is getting old
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice
I only wanna go on home
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I don't drown, I'll die fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I can't swim a single note
Threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin' like a momma cow
And now I'm floatin' way down stream
Know this has to be a dream
If I could find my way to shore
I'll never, never do this anymore
I gave you three
I've been down nine
I'm going down just one more time
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
adlib
Now the sky is getting light
And everything will be all right
Think I've finally got that knack
Just floatin' here lazy on my back
I never really like that town
I think I ride the river down
Just moving slow and floatin' free
There's a river swayin' under me
Wavin' back to the folks on shore
I should've thought of this before
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
Gonna pick up on some swingin' scenes
I know I'll know a better day
I'll go down groovin' all the way
Goin' down
Goin' down

RIU CHIU
Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera.
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera.
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender.
Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera
Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera.
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera.
Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca,
Christo partriarca de carne vestido.
Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.
Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera.
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera.
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera.

Slowly I walk
through the gently falling rain
And I know that I know
Will never pass this way again
Never wondering why
Tear drops chafing my eyes
Longing to be
where the noted kisses fall
Lingering and still
while quietly they tell their all
Blue is the color of the sun
and nothing stops when everything is done
Now my whole world opens up
in different rhymes and tunes
With the highways making up the verse
And then suddenly I see the light
of the something called the moon
and though my path is planned it's not rehearsed
So I move along to the next thing on the list
Knowing full well
that some of them just don't exist
But I am finally alone
And where my foot steps down is where it's home
Now my whole world opens up
in different rhymes and tunes
With the highways making up the verse
And then suddenly I see the light
of the something called the moon
and though my path is planned it's not rehearsed
So I move along to the next thing on the list
Knowing full well
that some of them just don't exist
But I am finally alone
And where my foot steps down is where it's home.

SOMETIME IN THE MORNING
Sometime in the morning
A simple thought may occur to you and you hold her
And tell her all the things you never told her
Your love has showed me things
I never thought I could see
I didn't know (I didn't know)
It could be done so easily
Now I know (now I know)
You're where it is for me
Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside
And you touch her
And you will realize how much you never knew before
How much you couldn't see
You didn't know (you didn't know)
It could be done so easily
Now you know (now you know)
She's all a girl could be
Now... in her child like eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise
Sometime in the morning
You just reach out and she will be there
Close as the summer air
Sometime in the morning (she will be there)
She will be there
Sometime in the morning (she will be there)
She will be there... fade

Girl, don't you know every time I see you smiling
It hurts so bad 'cuz when I see you I start trying
Trying everything to stop, but there's no denying
Falling in love with you, girl is just like dying
Uhhh... don't walk away
Uhhhh....how can I make you stay, don't turn away
I can still hear you saying those...
Words, that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide till you're playing was through
Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking
But you won't turn around or slow down you're walking
I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it
You had to get your kicks out and trying to steal it
Uhhhh....I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those...
Words, that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words, with lies inside
But small enough to hide till your playing is through...ahhh
Uhhh...I'm standing here

To prove my love is truly yours
I've done more now than a clear thinkin' man would do

Where ya go, I will follow
Till I win your love again

I know that something very strange is happened to my brain
I'm either feeling very good, or else I am insane
The seeds of doubt you've planted have started to grow wild
And I 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 (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
Turn on to the sunset like I've never been before
And I listen for your footsteps, and you're knock upon the door
And it's love you bring
No, that I can't deny
With your wings
I can learn to fly, Sweet Young Thing
And it's love you bring
With dreams of bluer skies
And with all these things
When I see it in your eyes, Sweet Young Thing
Sweet...Young...Thing

SOME OF SHELLY'S BLUES
Tell me, just one more time the reasons why you must leave?
Tell me once more why you're sure that you don't need me?
Tell me again, but don't think that you'll convince me
Now you've said, before falling in love again, you'd rather be dead
'Cuz when someone breaks your heart you cry your eyes red
But nothing so hard about the life that you've lead
As far as I can see there's no reason for goodbyes
You're just running scared, and that's something I won't buy
So you lose. I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues
And all this talk about leaving is strictly, bad news
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.

No heartaches felt no longer lonely
Nights of waiting finally won me
Happiness that's all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspiration
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
For I love you and I know you love me
Yes, I love you and I know you love me

MOMMY AND DADDY(alt version)
Ask your mommy and daddy, what happened to the Indians?
Ask your mommy and daddy, to tell you were you really came from
Then mommy and daddy will probably quickly turn and walk away
Then ask your mommy and daddy, who really killed J.F.K?
wa ta ticka too too...
Ask your mommy, if she really gets off on all her pills
Ask your daddy, was doesn't that soldier cares who he kills
After that put you to sleep and tuck you safely down in your bed
Whisper mommy and daddy, would it matter if a bullet with, through my head?
IF IT WAS MY BLOOD SPILLING ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR
IF IT WAS MY BLOOD MOMMY WOULD YOU CARE A LITTLE MORE?
Don't be surprise when they turn and start to cry
And tell your mommy and daddy
Tell your mommy and daddy
Scream it to your mommy and daddy
They're living in a LIE, LIE, LIE
It's all a lie, it's all a LIE, LIE, LIE...

IF I EVER GET TO SAGINAW AGAIN
If I ever get to Saginaw again
A locale that's somewhat off the beaten track
Get to see the girl I never saw again
Who must know why I have never ventured back
We were young
And so alive
And now I wonder if she'd cling to me
Become my very own like she did then
If I ever get to Saginaw again
If I ever get to Saginaw again
It won't be in spring with meadows turning green
It won't be to tangle with the law again
And it won't be someone only seventeen
Who gave her love
And made me hers
And when you find the one you're dreaming of
Who thinks to ask, how old is love, not when
You may never get to Saginaw again
If I ever get to Saginaw again
I will get to see the son who bears my name
Perhaps I'll quietly withdraw again
When I see the little man that's he's become
How I yearn
To watch him grow
A father's love is maybe all it takes
To not repeat those sad mistakes of men
If I ever get to Saginaw again.

ALL OF YOUR TOYS
Once upon a once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys
Can't you say, I don't wanna play (I don't need it)
Can't you say, you won't me to stay (I'd believe it)
Just like all of your toys
When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl will you be happy
With nothing but tears, with nothing but tears
Once upon a once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys
Don't you ever feel kind of sad ('cuz you're lonely)
Think about the love that we had (are you lonely?)
Just like all of your toys
When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl will you be happy
With nothing but tears, with nothing but tears
ahhh....ahhh... ahh....ahhh...
Just like all of your toys I don't wanna be
Just like all of your toys I don't need to be
Just like all of your, just like all of your toys
Just like all of your toys (I should have know I'd be alone)
Just like all of your toys (No, no, no, I don't need it)
Just like all of your toys (don't you have me believe it)
Just like all of your toys (just like all of your toys)
I should have know I'd be alone...adlib to fade

You tell me that you've never been this way, before
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere
You're standing in the places and you're staring down through faces
That brings to life traces of a girl
A girl that I knew somewhere
I just can't put my finger on what it is
That says to me, watch out, don't believe her
I can't give any reasons girl
My thoughts are bound down in a whirl
I just can't think who in the world was that girl
I know I've met her somewhere
Someway, somehow, the same thing was done
Someone, somewhere, did me the same wrong
Well, goodbye dear I just can't take this chance, again
My fingers are still burning from the last time
And if your love was not a game
I only have myself to blame
That's as maybe, I can't explain, just ask
The girl that I knew somewhere

YOU AND I
After all the spotlights and the flowers
After all the parties and goodbyes
There was something in the air
Something that we realized we would always share
And it was You and I
You and I
After all the music and the madness
After all the late night fantasies
We knew, that we would make it through
There was little in our way, nothing they could do
'Cuz it was you and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we almost made it
We knew we always would
'Cuz it was You and I
You and I
Now it seems that we are still together
And all the others never made it through
Someday, they'll learn our secret way
It isn't such a secret
It isn't hard to do
'Cuz it's was you and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we almost made it
We knew we always would
'Cuz it was You and I
You and I
You and I

She owns and operates her own sunshine factory
Of painting smiles on dolls and then on me
She's my Sunny Girlfriend and personality
Well, she's got a book, that tells about everybody's past
And she can make you slow, while making your mind move fast
She's my Sunny Girlfriend, and she is never last
Oh, while I am sleeping
Then she comes creeping
Into my thoughts at night
Gazing out through eyes as bright as wonder
She can send you on your way through everywhere
She's only started after you think that she is there
Well, she's my Sunny Girlfriend
And she just doesn't care
Yes, she's my Sunny Girlfriend
She doesn't really care

PILLOW TIME
there's a wonderland for Alice
there's a tall bean stalk for Jack
the sleepy train will take you there
safely down the track
with the sandman at the throttle
you'll be off to dreams and back
it's Pillow Time again
you will meet all your story book friends
as you go down Mother Goose lane
romp with Jack and Jill
up and down the hill
and try to put Humpty together again
close your sleepy eyes and listen
while we take a little hop
the candy whistle's blowin
don't you miss your station stop
so good night my wee way fairer
pleasant dreams to you oh tot
it's Pillow Time again

This is something we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're going to be
And what we have to be, is free

DON'T CALL ON ME
Don't call on me
When you're feeling footlose.. and fancy free
You've done that before
And like a fool.. I came for more
It's all over now
I've finally seen my way
I need you no more
Not now or any other day
ahhh...
Okay, little girl
Live for yourself
In your own little world
I know that you'll find
Someone who'll play at love you
Be just your kind
Be just your kind
Be just your kind

Why is it never enough, no matter what I do
I gave it all that I got, and it's always too few.
And now you're asking for more, why do I hesistate?
'Cuz I know in the end that's always too late,
And not enough for you.
I've often heard you say, you've got to seize the day
That when your life is gone, oh how it's gone so long.
But there are often times when life is not so kind
And there are those around who need your feet on the ground
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance to fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cuz it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
Oh, I long for all those years
Wasted along with these endless tears
'Cuz it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance to fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cuz it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you... for you
TEAR DROP CITY
About as low as I felt in a long time
And I know that I did a wrong at the wrong time
It's plain to see, she's down on me
And I know she'll feel that way for a long time
I was h-i-g-h, on toop but I didn't know it
Tell me why, did I have to go and blow it?
I used my lines too many times
And now I've got a badly hurt heart to show it
Took me too long to discover
How much I really love her
How'd I ever end up in this bind?
What a drag
there's she goes, looking for pretty clover
No one knows what it's like until it over
Without a doubt, I just found out
And I suppose I never did get to know her
And I suppose I never did get to know her
tear drop city, tear drop city...
Took me to long to discover
Now much I really lover her
How'd I ever end up in this bind
What a drag
About as long as I felt in a long time...(fade)

Some people always complain that their life is too short so they hurry it along
Their worries drive them insane but they still go along for the ride
As for me, I have all the time in the world
I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild
Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all
Some folks are working for reasons and waiting for answers they're never gonna find
they keep on swarching for pleasures and looking for what the can't see
But for me, life can be a sweet holiday
I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild
Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

ST. MATTHEW
She walks around on brass rings that never touch her feet
She speaks in conversations that never are complete
And looking over past things that she has never done
She calls herself, St. Matthew, when she is on the run
She stoops down to gather partly shattered men
And knows that when it's over it will start again
Both the times she smiled it was a portrait of the sun
She calls herself, St. Matthew, when she is on the run
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal
But most if it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead
Sometimes she must raise her hand to tell you what she said
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named, St. Matthew, when she is on the run
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal
But most if it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named, St. Matthew, when she is on the run.
Music and words by: Michael Nesmith
D.W. WASHBURN, I heard a sweet voice say
D.W. WASHBURN, this is your lucky day
A hot bowl of soup is waiting
A hot bowl of soup and a shave
D.W. WASHBURN, we picked you to stay
Can't you hear the bugle call? Can't you hear the bells?
Even you can be reborn, you naughty n'er do well
If you don't get out of that gutter, before the next big rain
D.W. WASHBURN, you're gonna wash right down the drain
Up, up, come on get up, get up off your street
If you can only make it from your hands to your knees
I know you can make it to your feet...wuhhh!!
D.W. WASHBURN, I said to myself
D.W. WASHBURN, you don't you go save somebody else?
Well, I got no job to go to
I don't work and I don't get paid
I got a bottle of wine, I'm feeling fine
And I believe I got it made
I'd like to thank all you good people
for coming to my aid
But I'm D.W. WASHBURN
I do believe I got it made
I do believe I got it made, don't need nobody.
I do believe I got it made, I do believe I got it made.
Music and Words by: Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
Yes, I know this isn't a Monkees song, but Micky Dolenz has been singing it for the past year or so, and it has become a fan favorite. So I give you the lyrics to the popular blues/jazz song: Since I Fell For You (Live)
When you just give love You, made me leave my happy home Love, brings such misery and pain Well it's too bad I guess I'll never see the light (instrumental break)
Well it's too bad I guess I'll never see the light Words and music: unknown
And never get love
You'd better let love, depart
I know it's so...and yet, I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You took my love and left me alone
Since I fell for you
I guess I'll never feel the same
Since I fell for you
And it's so sad, that I'm in love with you
First you love me
then you snub me
What can I do?
I'm still in love with you...
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
And it's so sad, that I'm in love with you
First you love me
then you snub me
What can I do?
I'm still in love with you..oohh
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you...(fade)
