Theme Song:
Here we come,
Walking down the street.
We get the funniest looks from,
Everyone 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 trying to be friendly,
Come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
And we got something to say.
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.
Hey, hey we're the Monkees, and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing, to put anybody down.
