Lyrics:

Here we come, walkin'

Down the street.

We get the funniest looks from

Every 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.

(Final verse to the TV version:

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,

You never know where we'll be found.

so you'd better get ready,

We may be comin' to your town.)

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
