A Barrel Full Of Monkees

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.

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...

"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.

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.

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."

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

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.
