The Monkees Theme Song Lyrics

Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone 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 trying to be friendly
Come watch us sing and play
We’re the young generation
And we got something to say

Anytime or anywere
Just look over your shoulder
Cause we will 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

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 watch us sing and play
We’re the young generation
And we got something to say

Hey hey were the monkees
Hey hey were the monkees
