Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here we come

Walking down the street

We get the funniest looks from

Everyone we meet

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees

And people say we monkey around

But we're too busy singing

To put anybody down

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 trying to be friendly

Come and watch us sing and play

We're the young generation

And we've got something to say

[Verse 3]

Any time, or anywhere

Just look over your shoulder

Guess who'll be standing there?

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees

And people say we monkey around

But we're too busy singing

To put anybody down

[Chorus]

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 trying to be friendly

Come and watch us sing and play

We're the young generation

And we've got something to say

[Outro]

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees
