1. _ Papa Gene's Blues
By michael nesmith
No heartaches felt no longer lonely
Heights of waiting finally won me
Happiness that's all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspriation
I look toward a destination
Sunny bright that once before was blue
I have no more than i did before
But now i've got all that i need
For i love you and i know you love me
So take my hand i'll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he's alone
For strength is mine when we're together
And with you i know i'll never
Have to pass the high road for the low
I have no more than i did before
But now i've got all that i need
'cause i love you and i know you love me
Yes, i love you and i... know... you....love....me!!!!!!!!

2. _ Gonna Buy Me A Dog
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
You know my girl just called me up
And she woke me from my sleep
You should have heard the things she said
You know she hurt my feelings deep.
I'm gonna buy me a dog [a dog, a dog! why?]
'cause i need a friend now. [say, you need all the friends you can get]
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.
She used to bring me my newspaper
'cause she knew where it was at.
She used to keep me so contented.
But i can teach a dog to do that.
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
'cause i need a friend now
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.

3. _ Laugh
Words and music by
Philip margo, mitchell margo, henry medress and jay siegel
Ev'ry face that i see is all wrapped up in frowns,
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
'cause the music is funny
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat.
Ain't that neat.
Laugh,
When you lose all your money,
Or you can't find your shoes
To cover your feet.
It's not so hard to see exactly what i'm after.
Sometimes a tear should fall, but i require giggles and chuckles
Laugh,
When you're keepin' a secret
And it seems to be known
By the rest of the world.
Laugh,
When you go to a party,
And you can't tell the boys
From the girls.
Every face that i see is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
At the things that are wrong.
If you thinks it's this song,
Then laugh.
Then laugh.
Then laugh.

4. _ Pillow Time
There's a wonderland for alice
There's a tall beanstalk for jack
The sleepy train will take you there
So safely down the track
With the sandman at the throttle
You'll be off to dreams and back
It's pillow time again
You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down mother goose lane
Romp with jack and jill
Up and down the hill
And try to put humpty together again
Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowin'
Don't you miss your station stop
So good night my wee way fairer
Pleasant dreams to you, oh tot
It's pillow time again
You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down mother goose lane
Romp with jack and jill, up and down the hill
And try to put humpty together again
Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowin'
Don't you miss your station stop
So good night my wee way fairer
Pleasant dreams to you, oh tot
It's pillow time again
It's pillow time agian...

5. _ Porpoise Song
My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

6. _ The Poster
By david jones and steve pitts
"the circus is coming to town." it said on the poster.
"get your tickets now, before it's too late."
A dancing bear and a circus clown it's so funny.
I can't wait to see everything there.
I feel like i'm already there.
I must see her fly through the air.
Horse running 'round and 'round in a circle.
I can't wait to see everything there.
I wonder if it's just like they say on the poster.
If it is i know i will be there.
I feel like i'm already there.
I must see her fly through the air.
I feel like i'm already there.
I must see her fly through the air.

7. _ Your Auntie Grizelda
By diane hilderbrand and jack keller
She knows her mind all right, your auntie grizelda,
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.
Oh, yeah, she's raised you right, your auntie grizelda,
You only know the things she wants you to know.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on auntie grizelda.
You can't begrudge her style, your auntie grizelda,
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free.
So righteous making fudge, your auntie grizelda,
So proper judging others over her tea.
You look just like her you do,
I know by looking at you,
That you've been listening to your auntie grizelda.
[ad lib]
Oh, no, don't look at me like auntie grizelda
It takes much more to be someone of your own.
You've got to make it free from auntie grizelda
Or just like her you'll have to make it alone.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on auntie grizelda.
Auntie grizelda, auntie grizelda

8. _ 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.

9. _ Apples, Peaches, Bananas And Pears
Apples, peaches, bananas and pears
I love you, girl, now that's the truth
I need you
Don't be cruel, don't be cruel
Give me just a little help and to show how much i care
I bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears
Run to me
Girl don't wait to long
And you'll see
I won't do you wrong
Promise me no matter what
Forever you'll be there
I'll bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears
I've said all i can today, girl
That's the way i am
Take it for what it's worth,
Throw the rest into the sun
Give me you
Girl, that's all i ask
Please be true
All i want's a love to last
I'll give it all back to you
And just to prove i'm fair
I bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears
Whoa!
I love you, girl, now that's the truth
I need you
Don't be cruel, don't be cruel
Give me just a little help
And to show how much i care
I bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears
Apples, peaches, bananas and pears

10. _ Teeny Tiny Gnome
Kickin' stones on an old dirt road
Feelin' d-dejected and all alone
When i looked up ahead thought my mind i'd blown
On a giant toadstool sat a teeny tiny gnome
He was all involved in a game of solitaire
Said "hello" with a smile just like i wasn't there
I kicked dirt some more
He said "please don't start a fight."
Found a church key in his pocket, he opened up his pipe
He blew some silver circles,
Wound his fingers in his beard
And from that pipe came magic music
Like i'd never heard
As the notes came floatin' in i pricked up both my ears
I walked up to the drive-in, hadn't felt so starved in years
A rabbit waiter took my order and quickly disappeared
He said "the party's over,
Please come back in a thousand years."

11. _ Saturday's Child
By david gates
Monday had a sad child
Always feeling low down,
Tuesday had a dream child
She's always on the go
Now i'm in love with saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that saturday's child is mine.
If you love a wednesday
You'll live your life apart now
And if you love a thursday
She's gonna break your heart,
So i'm in love with saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that saturday's child is mine.
Seven days of the week made to choose from
But only one is right for me
I know that saturday's got what it takes, babe.
I can tell by the way she looks at me
Friday likes the good life
She'll take you for a ride now
And sunday makes a good wife
But she wants to be a bride
So i'm in love with saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that saturday's child is mine.
[repeat 8 bars 3 times then fade out]

12. _ I Can't Get Her Off My Mind
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
I've been standing on the corner all day
Tryin' to think of little things to say
'cause she walks by ev'ry day about this time
And i don't think, i'll ever get her off of my mind.
Well i only met her 'bout a week ago
But the way she smiles let me know
That she could see that maybe we were two of a kind.
And i don't think i'll ever get her off of my mind.
Oh she's so pretty i couldn't believe
She'd ever look my way
But the way i'm feeling
I'm gonna be stealing
That little girl's heart today.
Well, i'm so happy i could almost fly
And i guess you know the reason why,
I'm walkin' down the street with her little hand in mine.
And i don't think i'll ever get her off of my mind.
Oh she's so pretty i couldn't believe
She'd ever look my way
But the way i'm feeling
I'm gonna be stealing
That little girl's heart today.
Well, i'm so happy i could almost fly
And i guess you know the reason why,
I'm walkin' down the street with her little hand in mine.
And i don't think i'll ever get her off of my mind.
And i don't think i'll ever get her off of my mind.
