Ditty Diego (War Chant)

[Intro: All]

Hey, hey, we are the Monkees

You know we love to please

A manufactured image

With no philosophies

[Verse 1: Mike Nesmith]

We hope you like our story

Although there isn't one

That is to say, there's many

That way there is more fun

[Verse 2: Peter Tork]

You've told us you like action

And games of many kinds

You like to dance, we like to sing

So let's all lose our minds!

[Verse 3: Micky Dolenz]

We know it doesn't matter

'Cause what you came to see

Is what we'd love to give you

And give it one, two, three!

[Verse 4: Davy Jones]

But there may come three, two, one, two

Or jump from nine to five

And when you see the end in sight

The beginning may arrive!

[Verse 5: Mike Nesmith]

For those who look for meanings

And form as they do fact

We might tell you one thing

But we'd only take it back

[Verse 6: Micky Dolenz]

Not back like in a box back

Not back like in a race

Not back so we can keep it

But back in time and space!

[Verse 7: Davy Jones]

You say we're manufactured

To that, we all agree

So make your choice and we'll rejoice

In never being free!

[Outro: All]

Hey, hey, we are the Monkees

We've said it all before

The money's in, we're made of tin

We're here to give you more!

The money's in, we're made of tin

We're here to give you—
