Ladies Aid Society

(Tommy Boyce/Bobby Hart)

Lead Vocals: Davy Jones

Produced By: Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart

Recording Date: August 23, 1966

This session is probably responsible for Don Kirshner's decision to bring in Jeff Barry as a producer. While intended to provide comic relief on the album, "Ladies Aid Society" was not deemed suitable by Don Kirshner. However, it was eventually released on The Monkees Present in 1969.

Lyrics:

In every little town and village too

Somewhere in the neighborhood

You'll find a little band of ladies who

Can't stop doing good

Good for the pigeons in the park

Good for the weekly tea

Good for the national bank where they keep their treasury

We're the ladies aid society

And we're really a great bunch of girls

We're the ladies aid society

And soon we'll take over the world

Here they come marching down the street

With their picket signs in hand

With their blue and white pleated uniforms

And their all girl five-piece band

Down with long haired singing groups

Down with the mayor too

And if you're under 65 they're down on you

We're the ladies aid society

And we just want to sell you the truth

Were the ladies aid society

And it's time we clamp down on the youth

We're the ladies aid society

and we're really a great bunch of girls

We're the ladies aid soicety

And soon we'll take over the world

We're the ladies aid society

And we just want to sell you the truth

Were the ladies aid society

And it's time we clamp down on the youth
