We get the funniest looks from everyone we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees!!!
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm going to need two pair of shoes
When I get through walkin' me blues
When I get back to New Orleans
“Death comes when memories of the past exceed the vision for the future.”
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I’m not wrong this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer, I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines the tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi hurryin' into spring
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -Martin Luther King Jr.
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
“Death comes when memories of the past exceed the vision for the future.”
Come on take a stroll down to Basin street
Listen to the music with the dixieland beat, yeah
I say, the magnolia blossoms fill the air
And you ain't been to heaven if you ain't been there.
Honeysuckle hanging from a hollow tree
Down in Mississippi down in New Orleans

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
Though I'm a poor boy
I can still be happy
As long as I can feel free

Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
Now old man rhythm is in my shoes, it’s no use sittin’ here singin’ the blues,
So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose, won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?

Riding along in my calaboose
Still trying to get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Cruisin' and playing the radio
With no particular place to go
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
When I played my guitar
I made the canyons rock-but-
Every Saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
“As soon as public service ceases to be the chief business of the citizens, and they would rather serve with their money than with their persons, the State is not far from its fall”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
Well, train, train, take me on out of this town
Train, train, Lord, take me on out of this town
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's Memphis bound
“As soon as public service ceases to be the chief business of the citizens, and they would rather serve with their money than with their persons, the State is not far from its fall”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
O.k. so no--ones answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
Ill just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.

Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night.
Fairly soon the time will tell
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Takin' it to the streets
“Death comes when memories of the past exceed the vision for the future.”
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
“Death comes when memories of the past exceed the vision for the future.”
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin out over the line

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
'cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel

Cheeseburger in paradise,
heaven on earth with an onion slice,
not too particular not too precise I'm just
a Cheeseburger in paradise.
"...I would never try to tick Hink off. He kinda intimidates me. He's quite butch, you know." - Maister
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When I die I don't want no coffin
I thought about it all too often
Just strap me in behind the wheel
And bury me in my automobile
Damn, this traffic jam ....
I have seen
old ships sailing
like swans asleep
