lyrics from reprint of 1966 sheet music


        Am
Here we come

                        F
Walkin' down the street

                    D
We get the funniest looks from

                 G7
Ev'ryone we meet


                   C
Hey, hey we're the Monkees

    F             G               C
And people say we monkey around

    F         G        C
But we're too busy singing

   F      G       A
To put anybody down


Am
     We go wherever we want to

                        F
Do what we like to do

                          D
We don't have time to get restless

                         G7
There's always something new


                   C
Hey, hey we're the Monkees

    F             G               C
And people say we monkey around

    F         G        C
But we're too busy singing

   F      G       A
To put anybody down


Am                           C
     We're just tryin' to be friendly

F                 G7             C
Come and watch us sing and play

F         G7         C
We're the young generation

    F         G7                 A
And we've got something to say


      Am
Anytime

            F
Or anywhere

                    D
Just look over your shoulder

                              G7
Guess who'll be standing there


                   C
Hey, hey we're the Monkees

    F                G             C
You never know where we'll be found

F        G              C
So you'd better get ready

   F             G         A
We may be coming to your town



REPEAT AND FADE:

G                          C
     Hey, hey we're the Monkees
G                          C
     Hey, hey we're the Monkees

G                          C
     Hey, hey we're the Monkees

etc.

			Monkees Theme


           Am
>"Here we come...
                     F
> walking down the street..
                        D
  we get the funniest looks from
               G
  everyone we meet

                     C      C7
  Hey Hey we're the Monkees...
        F            G         C   C7
  and people say we monkey around
       F         G    C         C7
  but we're too busy singing
      F      G    Am
  to put anybody down

there are a couple other verses... one of 'em is

  anytime anywhere
  just look over your shoulder
  guess who'll be standing there

and there's a repeat of the chorus, only in D:

       F     G      A
  ... put anybody down
                            D      D7
  we're just trying to be friendly
   G                A        D     D7
  something mumble sing and play
   G          A        D     D7
  we're the young generation
      G       A           Bm
  and we got something to say

and I think there's an E chord in the break to lead back to
another verse which starts on Am but I forgot the words
