Monkees Theme Lyrics

Artist: The Monkees

The Monkees' Theme
The Monkees

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.

I used to watch the Monkees as a kid and loved them. I just sitting here singing the theme song with my daughter who is 13. Now, she know the song especially since we found the lyrics! THANKS!

I'm so embarrassed! I am the biggest Monkee fan there is, and I had a line wrong in the theme song all these years! I'll be 50 this year. I thought it said "The only time we get restless, it's always something new"... Instead it's "We don't have time to get restless, there's always something new". Pretty close, but I guess after singing it since I was 4 years old that way, it will be a hard habit to break. Love Micky the best always, but I sure do miss Davy, he was a great friend.
