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,

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.......

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 hummin' 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 EMI 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 in naughahyde/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 trying 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?!/
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?!/
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?!

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song,
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere,
Rows of houses that are all the same,
And no one seems to care.

See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom,
And Mr. Green, he's so serene,
He's got a TV in every room.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land,
Mothers complain about how hard life is,
And the kids just don't understand.

Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul,
And make it hard for me to see.
Ahhh...thoughts all seem to stray to places far away,
I need a change of scenery.

Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta...
Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta...

Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)

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?

Love is understanding,
Don't you know that this is true.
Love is understanding,
It's in everything we do.

In this generation,
In this lovin' time,
In this generation,
We will make the world shine.

We were born to love one another
This is something we all need.
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be is free.

In this generation,
In this lovin' time,
In this generation,
We will make the world shine.

We were born to love one another
This is something we all need.
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be is free.

Love is understanding, we gotta be free
Love is understanding, we gotta be free

Darkened rolling figures move through
Prisms of no color
Hand in hand, they walk the night
But never know each other

Passioned pastel neon lights
Light up the jeweled traveller
Who, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams
Find questions, but no answers

Startled eyes that sometimes see
Phantasmagoria splendor
Pirouette down palsied paths
With pennies for the vendor

Salvation?s yours for just the time
It takes to pay the dancer
And once again such anxious men
Find questions, but no answers

The night has gone
And taken it?s infractions
While saddened eyes
Hope there will be a next one

Sahara signs look down upon
A world that glitters glibly
And mountain sides put arms around
The unsuspecting city

Second hands that minds have slowed
Are moving even faster
Toward bringing down someone who's found
The questions, but no answers

Girl, don't you know every time I see you smiling,
It hurts so bad, cause when I see you, I start crying,
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying,
That falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying.

Oh, don't walk away,
How, how can I make you stay?
Don't turn away,
I can still hear you saying those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.

Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking?
You won't look around or slow down your walking,
I've given you everything with kiss to seal it,
You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it.

Now, I'm standing here,
Strange, strange voices in my ears,
I feel the tears,
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh.

Now, I'm standing here,

Some people always complain that their life is too short so they hurry it
along
Their worries drive them insane but they still go along for the ride
As for me
I have all the time in the world

I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

Some folks are working for reasons and waiting for answers they're never
gonna find
They keep on searching for pleasures and looking for what they can't see
But for me
Life can be a sweet holiday

I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

REPEAT AND FADE
I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild

Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

We've been dancin',
Nearly all night long.
Let's keep it up baby,
Cause the music's still strong.
We're doin' the Pony
Now you're doing the Jerk.
A come on, baby,
Let me see how you work.

Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

The way you're movin'
Girl, you look so fine.
You been doin' the Shotgun,
Let me see you do the Twine,
Let's see the Watusi,
And the Action too,
Now hang on, baby,
I'll do the sloopy with you.

Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
There's a girl I know who makes me feel so good.
And I wouldn't live without her, even if I could.
They call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

She's the same little girl who used to hang around my door.
But she sure looks different than the way she looked before.
I call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
I love my Valleri.
I need ya, Valleri.

When your dreams have died around you, she'll be there
When you need a hand to guide you, she'll be there
And when you feel rejected
'Cause life is not what you expected
I know that, she'll be there

If I hadn't lied and cheated, she'd be here
If she wasn't so mistreated, she'd be here
And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never ever loose her
And she will always be there

I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now her place is with you
And I must face it, it's over we're through

She'll be there...
She'll be there...

And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never ever loose her
And she will always be there

She'll be there...
She'll be there...
She'll be there...

Come on in,
You sure look good to me.
Come on in,
I've learned how lonely I can be.

I guess we'll never know just what went wrong
You know it's been a whole year has passed us by and gone.
But we're back together now where we belong
So, baby, come on in.

Come on in,
I heard your footstep on the stair.
Come on in,
I'd know it anywhere.

Your old chair in the corner is justa sitting there waiting.
It's been a long time anticipating.
What a long time it's been.
So, baby, come on in.

Over and over I've told myself
I said, "Son, you've got to lose these blues.
Get ready for the day when she'll walk in the door."
So I dusted off your housecoat and I polished up your shoes.

Come on in,
You know your welcome here.
Aw, Come on in,
It's been a long, long year.

Now I know why I waited around
I wouldn't run around town, let them put me down.
I knew that if I waited I would win.
So, baby, come on in.

Come on in,
Come on in,
Aw, come in.

Girl, you look mighty good to me
And I know that you've got to be
The kind of girl I could love.

You've got the sweetest pair of eyes
And your kiss would be paradise
You're the kind of girl I could love.

You do something to my soul
That no one's ever done.
If you're looking for true love
Then let me be the one.

Girl, deep in my soul I'm sure
And my heart has no doubt that you're
The kind of girl I could love.
The kind of girl I could love.
(Repeat and fade)

One, two aah yeah, aah yeah
Aah yeah

Once upon a, once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys

Can't you see I don't wanna play
I don't need it
Can't you say you want me to stay
I'd believe it, just like all of your toys

When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl, will you be happy
With nothing but tears?
With nothing but tears?

Once upon a, once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys

Don't you ever feel kind of sad?
'Cause you're lonely
Think about the love that we had
Are you lonely? Just like all of your toys

When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl, will you be happy
With nothing but tears?
With nothing but tears?

Just like all of your toys, I don't wanna be
(Just like all of your toys)
Just like all of your toys, I don't need to be
(Like all of your toys)
Just like all of your, just like all of your toys
(Like all of your toys)

(Just like all of your toys)
I should have known I'd be alone
(Like all of your toys)
No, no, no I don't need it

(Just like all of your toys)
Oh, don't you have me believe it
(Like all of your toys)
Just like all of your toys

(Just like all of your toys)
I still believe it

Ecco qua
passiamo noi
e la gente ci guarda
ed ammir con voi
Ci chiamano i Monkees,
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu' intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi'
Dovunque parliamo
non e' giusto mai
c'e' sempre qualcuno che
ne sa piu' di noi
Ci chiamano i Monkees
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu' intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi'
Ci chiamano i Monkees...
