1. _ 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.

2. _ 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

3. _ 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,

4. _ Forget That Girl
By douglas farthing hatlelid
Forget that girl,
She'll only make you sad someday.
Forget that girl,
She'll never make you happy.
Stay away from her, my friend,
Stay away from her.
Forget that girl,
She'll only bring you down again.
Forget that girl,
She'll only make you lonely.
Stay away from her, my friend,
Stay away from her.
There was a time when she could really love you
When she was thinking only of you
But now she's thrown herself above you
And there's nothing you can do.
Forget that girl,
Even tho you find it's hard.
Forget that girl,
Even though you love her.
She's in love with him, my friend,
She's in love with him.
Oh yeah, she's in love with him.......

5. _ 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?

6. _ 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.

7. _ I Got A Woman

8. _ Sunny Girlfriend
By michael nesmith
She owns and operates
Her own sunshine factory
Of painting smiles on dolls
And then on me
She's my sunny girlfriend
And personality.
Well, she's got a book
That tells about ev'rybody's past
And she can make you slow
While making your mind move fast
She's my sunny girlfriend
And she is never last.
Oh, while i am sleeping
Then she comes creeping
Into my thoughts at night
Gazing down through eyes
As bright as wonder.
She can send you on your way
To ev'rywhere
She's only started
After you think that she is there.
Well, she's my sunny girlfriend,
And she just doesn't care.
Yes, she's my sunny girlfriend,
She doesn't really care.

9. _ 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

11. _ You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover
1: you can't judge a apple by lookin' at the tree.
Can't judge a honey by lookin' at the bee.
Can't judge a daughter by lookin' at the mother.
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.
Chorus: oh-oh, can't you see? you misjudged me, baby!
I look like a farmer but--i'm a lover!
Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.
2: you can't judge sugar by lookin' at the pan.
Can't judge a woman by lookin' at her man.
Can't judge one by lookin' at the other.
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.
Chorus: oh-oh, can't you see? you misjudged me!
I look like a farmer but--i'm a lover!
Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.
3: you can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond.
Can't judge right by lookin' at the wrong,
Can't judge a-one by lookin' at the other.
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.
Chorus: oh-oh, can't you see? you misjudged me!
I look like a farmer but--i'm a lover!
Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover.
4: can't judge a apple by lookin' at the tree, baby.
Can't judge honey by lookin' at the bee.
Can't judge a daughter by lookin' at the mother.
You can't a book by lookin' at the cover.
Chorus: oh-oh, can't you see? you misjudged me!
I look like a farmer but--i'm a lover!
Can't judge a book a-by lookin' at the cover.

12. _ Sweet Young Thing
By gerry goffin, carole king and michael nesmith
Know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else i am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that i must yield before
The wisdom of a child
And it's love you bring,
No that i can't deny,
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.
People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But i resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down..
Turned on to the sunset,
Like i've never done before.
And i listen for your footsteps
And your know upon the door.
And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When i seem them in your eyes
Sweet young thing.

13. _ 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.)

(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.

15. _ You Just May Be The One
By michael nesmith
All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun.
Someone to understand them,
And you just may be the one.
All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take for granted
All the pleasures and the fun.
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one.
I saw when you walked by
The lovelight in your eye
And i knew i must try
To win you more than just a friend,
I'm starting near the end,
And i go again.
All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun.
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one.
Someone to understand them,
And you just may be the one.
You just may be the one
By michael nesmith
All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of the love bright as the sun.
Someone to understand them,

All men must have someone, have someone

Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one.
I saw when you walked by
The love light in your eyes
I knew i must try
To win you more than as a friend,

And i go again.
All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of the love bright as the sun.

And you just may be the one.
Someone to understand them,
And you just may be the one.
