1. _ P. O. Box 9847
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
Handsome, single, young man well respected in his town
Seeks a fine, young lady from a similar background.
Generous, responsible, respectful man of means.
Socialize with presidents and queens.

P. o. box 9847
I've described me very poorly,
Better try again.
Quiet, sincere, gentleman, well rounded and mature.
Fond of music and the arts, loves the theater.
Educated, sensitive, a trav'ler of the world.
Wants to meet an eligible young girl.

I've been writing, advertising
That's not really me.
Lonely, understanding man, affectionate and true
Looking for girl to share his dreams and make them true.
Humble, loving, sensitive, considerate and shy.
Only sincere ladies need reply.

2. _ We Were Made For Each Other
By carole bayer and george fischoff
I wanted you from the first day i saw you,
The first day i looked into your eyes.
That's when i knew that i would adore you.
It was no surprise.
We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky.
We were made for each other
No other love have i.
You took my hand. was then you had known it?
Was that when you started loving me?
Was it the way i smiled that had shown it?
Was that the day you could see?
We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky.
We were made for each other
No other love have i.
We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky.
We were made for each other
No other love have i.

4. _ Magnolia Simms
By michael nesmith
Love to me is blue-eyed and blonde.
Oh, that's sweet magnolia.
Apple pie on the window still warm.
That's my sweet magnolia
Walking under a sky that's so blue
After rain has fallen.
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide.
[la-dee, da-dum, etc.]
Well, walking under a sky that's so blue
After rain has fallen.
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide.
Magnolia simms is my little doll.
I can't live without her.
For if she goes my world will just fall.
Stay with me, magnolia.
[sound of record skipping]
Stay with me, magnolia.

5. _ Tapioca Tundra
By michael nesmith
Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues.
It cannot be a part of me,
For now it's part of you.
Careful plays on fields
That seems to vanish when they're in between
And softly as i walk away
In freshly tattered shoe.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you.
Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.
Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you.
Well, sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.
[instrumental]
Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.
Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you.

6. _ Writing Wrongs
By michael nesmith
Did you know the water's turning yellow?
Have you heard the sky was falling down?
Did you see that guy fall out the window?
Did you know the circus was in town?
Have you heard about bill chamber's mother?
She said, "a woman's work is never done."
And, oh yes, about that yellow water,
Have you noticed the color of the sun?
You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal.
Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel?
[instrumental interlude]
Well, i hope you finally got my letter.
It should have come about this time last year.
And i hope bill chamber's mother's better.
Oh, dear! the moon's just disappeared.
You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal.
Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel?

7. _ Zor And Zam
By bill chadwick and john chadwick
The king of zor, he called for war
And the king of zam, he answered.
They fashioned their weapons one upon one
Ton upon ton, they called for war at the rise of the sun.
Out went the call to one and to all
That echoed and rolled like the thunder.
Trumpets and drums, roar upon roar
More upon more.
Rolling the call of "come now to war."
Throughout the night they fashioned their might
With right on the side of the mighty.
They puzzled their minds plan upon plan
Man upon man
And at dying of dawn the great war began.
They met on the battlefield banner in hand.
They looked out across the vacant land.
And they counted the missing, one upon one,
None upon none.
The war it was over before it begun.
Two little kings playing a game.
They gave a war and nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.

8. _ Dream World
By david jones and steve pitts
Walking around with your head in the clouds
You don't care.
Why must you walk when you know
You're not going anywhere.
Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.
Always pretending that everything's fine
When it's not.
Why must you lie when you know that
You'll aways get caught.
Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.
[instrumental]
Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.
You'll see.
You'll see.

9. _ 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.

10. _ Daydream Believer
oh, i could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
Whoops its ringing and i rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy i can be.
Oh, and our good times starts and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
[instrumental interlude]
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

11. _ Auntie's Municipal Court
By michael nesmith and keith allison
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see.
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea.
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody can see that we are you,
We are you.
She's him, too.
She's him, too.
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see.
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four.
Somebody here just sent for more
Red and yellow cartoons saying we need two
We need two.
More than you.
More than you.
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.
Somebody stole they mind.
Somebody stole they mind.
They way they can't find
What is kind.
What is kind.
[instrumental]
Somebody stole they mind.
Somebody stole they mind.
They way they can't find
What is kind.
What is kind.
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see.
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea.
Why do the people walk away from me?
Nobody can see that we are you,
We are you.
She's him, too.
She's him, too.
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see.
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.

12. _ I'll Be Back Upon My Feet
By sandy linzer and denny randell
Girl, i know the grass is greener, just around the bend.
Gotta say, "goodbye!" but dont' you fear.
Though the road is dark and i might fail to find the end
I won't disappear.
I'll be back upon my feet. i'll be back upon my feet.
Chase the morning sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back upon my feet. i'll be back upon my feet.
Lookin' high, i'm lookin' low.
When i find my boots i know i gotta go.
Maybe i will be a star, or maybe just a clown.
Girl, i'll never know until i try.
Maybe i will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down.
But you don't have to cry.
I'll be back upon my feet. i'll be back upon my feet.
Chase the morning sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back upon my feet. i'll be back upon my feet.
Lookin' high, i'm lookin' low.
When i find my boots i know i've gotta go.
[instrumental]
Maybe i will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down.
But you don't have to cry.
I'll be back upon my feet. i'll be back upon my feet.
Chase the morning sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back upon my feet. i'll be back upon my feet.
Lookin' high, i'm lookin' low.
When i find my boots i know i've gotta go.
