Here we come, walking down the street  

Here we come, walkin down the street,
get the funniest looks from
everyone we meet
Hay Hay we're the monkeys
and people say we monkey around
we're too busy singing to put any body down...

Omg, I remembered all that. I'm gettin old!

Hehehe....talk about memory lane....I grew up watching The Monkees...Let me see, Davy Jones, Mike Nesbit, Peter Tork, and Mickey Dolenz...can't remember which episode was my favorite, but oh, did I have a crush on Davey Jones too!!!

There is one song I love by the Monkees and I have sang it to lol and that is Daydream believer I have sang this song many a time on Kareoke but then I got bad with my Illness and I have not sang since then I will sing when I am at home alone lol but not in Public anymore

OH man I LOVED the Monkees! I thought Micky Dolenz was a cutie! My favorite song by them is "Stepping Stone". I used to have their greatest hits album, LOL

Oh OI love that show and have not seen it for along time. I miss that show and may have to order the tv shows cd. I have a few of the monkeys albums. Davy Jones was my favorite and he is a Doll :)

I was a fan of the Monkees, I loved the show, and I know that they hadn't meet prior to doing the show, and that in the begining they didn't even get to do their own music that the show decided what music was going to be done, often they didn't even play the instruments on the recordings.

They had to struggle to get to be real musicians and won.

I always liked the song I Wanna Be Free. there are a lot of songs by the Monkees that I enjoyed, not sure I have a favorite, I liked Buy Me A Dog, it was fun, and goofy, and of course there were the ones everyone knows, Valerie, Last Train to Clarksville, I'm a Believer.

Sometimes when we teased me niece when she was young we called her monkey and so I started singing her the theme song when I was teasing her.

I LOVED THE MONKEES!! Davy Jones was just so cute and his accent drove me up the wall. The show was campy and so much fun. Contrary to popular opinion, they could play their own instruments. In fact, Davy was the only one trained as an actor from what I understand.

Thanks for this memory.

I totally loved that show! And the guys were so incredibly adorable. I loved all their songs, but if pressed to pick a favorite, I would choose "DayDream Believer"
I thought Mickey would be fun to hang out with.
I am surprised that they weren't a group before the show. They had amazing chemistry.

Didn't EVERYONE love Davey? LOL Oddly enough they did a come back tour in the 90's and visited our hometown. I took my oldest daughter to see them because the tix were so inexpensive. I think everyone was there but 1 person... can't recall who though. I know Davey Jones was there though because I cracked up. My tastes have definitely changed as most any man that gets a 2nd glance from me NOW is tall and he is far from TALL! LOL

I knew there were more lyrics than just the first verse so I went searching the web. Here's what I found.

(And oh yeah --- Peter Tork Forever!!!!)

Theme from The Monkees

By Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart

Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry 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.

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
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
[repeat and fade]

extra verse:

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.
