Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So much for the city
Tell me that you'll dance to the end
Just tell me that you'll dance to the end
Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, you're The Monkees
And people said you monkeyed around
But nobody's listenin' now
Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
[Verse 3]
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around
Lettin' your old man down
[Verse 4]
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby, please don't go
Oh, baby, baby, please don't go
[Verse 5]
So much for the streetlights
They're never gonna guide you home
No, they're never gonna guide you home
Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
[Verse 6]
Down at the steamboat show
Yeah, all the kids started splittin'
I guess I didn't live up to the billing
Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
[Verse 7]
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around
Lettin' your old man down
[Verse 8]
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby, please don't go
Oh, baby, baby, please don't go
[Verse 9]
Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
[Verse 10]
(Ooh) Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around
Lettin' your old man down
[Verse 11]
(Ooh) Just don't go back to Big Sur
Oh, baby, baby, please don't go
Oh, baby, baby, please don't go
