The Monkees
The Monkees', "Daydream Believer"
Better Lyrics:
Cheer up, weepy teen
Oh, what does it mean
To be a diehard Belieber
And not get the guy of your dreams
Oh, what does it mean
To be a diehard Belieber
And not get the guy of your dreams
Original Lyrics:
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

The Monkees', "Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees!"
Better Lyrics:
We're just bums
Beggin' on the streets
Folks think we're panhandlin' crooks
But narcotics we need
Hey, Hey, We're just Junkies!
So please toss some coin on the ground...
Beggin' on the streets
Folks think we're panhandlin' crooks
But narcotics we need
Hey, Hey, We're just Junkies!
So please toss some coin on the ground...
Original Lyrics:
Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks
From everyone we meet
Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees!
People say we monkey around...
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks
From everyone we meet
Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees!
People say we monkey around...

The Monkees', "Last Train to Clarksville"
Better Lyrics:
Take the last plane to Hartsfield
We’ll meet at the police station
You must be here by 12:30
Or be jailed for the duration
Don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
We’ll meet at the police station
You must be here by 12:30
Or be jailed for the duration
Don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Original Lyrics:
Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be here by 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be here by 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

The Monkees', "We're the Monkees (Theme)"
Better Lyrics:
(Again, I see Sheogorath and I raise him.)
Here we come
Stimming down the street
We get the nastiest treatment
From Autism $peaks.
Hey, hey we're autistic,
and some peeps treat us like clowns.
But we're too nice and friendly
to put ableist fools down.
They just don’t understand us,
That’s why they locked us away.
But we have equal rights to you,
And that’s why we’re here to stay.
Here we come
Stimming down the street
We get the nastiest treatment
From Autism $peaks.
Hey, hey we're autistic,
and some peeps treat us like clowns.
But we're too nice and friendly
to put ableist fools down.
They just don’t understand us,
That’s why they locked us away.
But we have equal rights to you,
And that’s why we’re here to stay.
Original Lyrics:
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're just trying to be friendly,
Come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
And we got something to say.
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're just trying to be friendly,
Come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
And we got something to say.

Stimming down the street

Walkin' down the street

Walkin' down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet

And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down
