1. _ Rany Scouse Git
By micky dolenz
She's a wonderful lady
And she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way
That she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.
The four kings of e.m.i.
Are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door.
He reminds me of a penguin
With few and plastered hair,
There's talcum powder on the letter
And the birthday boy is there.
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what i do,
See what i feel when i care?
Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as wonder girl
Is speaking i believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That i shortly have to leave.
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who i hate,
Kill who i kill to be free.
[progressive scat vocals]
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what i do,
See what i feel when i care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who i hate,
Kill who i kill to be free.

2. _ Pleasant Valley Sunday
The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Seranade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn
Another pleasant valley sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See mrs. gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
Mr. green he's so serene, he's got a t.v. in every room
Another pleasant valley sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Ta ta ta...
Another pleasant valley sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another pleasant valley sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another pleasant valley sunday...

3. _ I'm A Believer
by neil diamond
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then i saw her face, now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, i'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if i tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more i gave the less i got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When i needed sunshine i got rain.
Then i saw her face, now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, i'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if i tried.

4. _ Mary, Mary
Words and music by michael nesmith
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, can i go too.
This one thing i will vow ya,
I'd rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, tell me truly
What did i do to make you leave me.
Whatever it was i didn't mean to,
You know i never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
What more, mary, can i do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do.
Mary, mary, it's not over.
Where you go, i will follow.
'til i win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, mary, mary, mary, where you goin' to?

5. _ I Wanna Be Free
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me say you like me,
But when i need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Oh-oh-oh
I wanna hold yur hand,
Walk along the sadn
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm september wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, i gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

6. _ The Girl I Knew Somewhere
You tell me that you've never been this way before.
You tell me things i know that i've heard somewhere.
You're standing in the places and you're
Staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces
Of a girl, a girl that i knew somewhere.
I just can't put my finger on what it is
That says to me "watch out! don't believe her."
I can't give any reasons girl,
My thoughts are bound down in a whirl.
I just can't think who in the world was that girl;
I know i met her somewhere.
Someway, somehow this same thing was done.
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong.
Well, goodbye dear, i just can't take this chance again.
My fingers are still burning from the last time.
And if your love was not a game, i only have myself to blame.
That's as may be, i can't explain.
Just ask the girl that i knew somewhere.
(words and music by michael nesmith - transcribed from "the monkees
Pocketbook of songs" - 1967 - raybert productions, inc.)

7. _ (i'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
(i'm not your) steppin' stone
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
You're trying to make your mark in society
Your using all the tricks that you used on me.
You're reading all them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes.
I said
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.
When i first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news.
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of who's who.
I said
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.

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. _ Last Train To Clarksville
Words and music by
Tommy boyce and bobby hart
Take the last train to clarksville,
And i'll meet you at the station.
You can be be there by four thirty,
'cause i made your reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
'cause i'm leavin' in the morning
And i must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'til the morning brings my train.
And i must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And i don't know if i'm ever coming home.
Take the last train to clarksville.
I'll be waiting at the station.
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation.
Oh... oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
Take the last train to clarksville,
Now i must hang up the phone.
I can't hear you in this noisy
Railroad station all alone.
I'm feelin' low. oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And i don't know if i'm ever coming home.
Take the last train to clarksville,
Take the last train to clarksville,

10. _ A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You
Walk out,
Girl don't you walk out
We've got things to say
Talked out, let's have it talked out
Things will be okay
Girl
I don't want to find
That i'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me, (a little bit me)
And it's a little bit you... too
Don't know... just what i said wrong
But girl i apologize
Don't go... here's where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes
Girl
I don't want to find
That i'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you... too
Instrumental
Oh girl
I don't want to find
I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you... to
It's a little bit me
It's a little bit you

No no no no no
Girl don't go
No no no no no
Hey girl
