The Monkees - Good Times! Album Lyrics

There's a good time coming on
I can feel it in my bones
Said a good time coming on
I can tell it won't be long
'Til there's dancing in the streets again
And music everywhere
There'll be people wanting people, yeah
Ah, laughter everywhere

There'll be parties after sundown
Well, everywhere you go
There'll be hand squeezing, ear pleasing
Music on the radio
And I know that you're gonna be there
'Cause we're have a wonderful time
We're gonna jump to the left, right, tear down, rip it up
Ah, starting at the county line

There's a good time coming on
I can feel it in my bones
Said a good time coming on
I can tell it won't be long
'Til there's dancing in the streets again
And music everywhere
There'll be people wanting people
Ah, laughter everywhere

Yeah, Harry!

There's a good time coming on
I can feel it in my bones
I said a good time coming on
I can tell it won't be long
'Til there's dancing in the streets again
And music everywhere
There'll be people wanting people
Ah, laughter everywhere

(Whoa-oh) Whoa-oh
(A good time coming on) Good time coming on
(Oh, a good time coming, baby) Good time coming, yeah
(Good time coming on) Hey, good time, bop
(A good da da-da da da) Mm, ba-da ba-da ba-da...
(Ba ba-ba bop, ba-ba bop bop)
Good time coming on
Well, a good time coming on
Ah

I'll bring the chips
and the dips
and root beer
Even though dark purple
rain clouds are near
When you come around
you bring the Summer

I'll lay the basket and blanket out neat
Even though weathermen
say there'll be sleet
When you come around
you bring the Summer

Summer poorer sad old snowman
freezing in his room
Summer from your clear blue skies
will melt away the winters gloom

I'll bring the sun cream
and beach volleyball
Even though there is no sand here at all
When you come around
you bring the Summer

When you come around
you bring the summer

Summer poorer sad old Jack Frost
trying to warm his toes
Summer from your golden smile
will paint the snow drops pinky rose.

The birds and the bees will fly around me
even though we're deep in January
When you come around
you bring the Summer

I know with one bound
you bring the Summer

When you come around...

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around
(Baby!)

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around

Summer baby
you bring the Summer
you bring the Summer around

I'm so glad that I got her to think of
She's fine as any Valentine
I think about her all the time
Cross my heart and hope to die
She sends me silly messages and pictures
Directing traffic in the mall
Or posing with some brand new shoes
She never fails to surprise

She makes me laugh, she makes me smile
And I could hang out with her all day and night
She makes me laugh, she makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for awhile

I'm so glad that I got her to think of
We'll have a dinner date tonight
And play some scrabble with the guys
And wear our pink party hats
Maybe I should take her on safari?
You'll see us wave from our canoe
If that's what she wants to do
Tell me what's wrong with that?

She makes me laugh, she makes me smile
And I could hang out with her all day and night
She makes me laugh, she makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for awhile

No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl I should hold on to
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl I should hold on to
No matter whatever else I do
She's still the girl, she's still the girl...

She makes me laugh, she makes me smile
And I could hang out with her all day and night
She makes me laugh, she makes me cry
And I would like to be with her for awhile

One, two, three, four.

You, you blew my mind
You turned back time
You changed my tune
I looked in your eyes
Saw starry skies
The sun and moon

And you're a dreamer just like me
We don't need reality
We're in our own world (Our own little world)
We're in our own world (Our own little world)
We're in our own world
That nobody else can see
Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee
Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee

We been writing rhymes
And trading lines
It sounds so good
We been making plans
To start some bands
Just like we should

And you're a schemer just like me
Got no fear of authority
We're in our own world (Our own little world)
We're in our own world (Our own little world)
We're in our own world

And no one knows where we go or what we do
And I don't mind wasting all my time with you

And if I can make it home by Tuesday
That's if I can make it home at all
I'm headed out in the sunshine, babe
Feeling to your knees
Nobody else but my only self

Do you know
Where we go?
Do you know
When we go?

High in a rooftop, singing a song
Choirs of angels all sing along
It's late and I'm scared, so please, don't be long
I'm still not sure where I came from
Feeling low

Gone are the doubts of clouds I had before
Gone are the blinkers 'round my eyes
I'm heading out in the sunshine, babe
Feeling to your knees
Nobody else but my only self

Do you know
Where we go?
Do you know (Old friends say, oh, he's lost his way)
When we go? (But they can't see what I can see)
Do you know (Oh, I'll never come back)
Where we go? (I'm headed out in the sunshine, baby)
Do you know
Where we go?

High in a rooftop, singing a song
Choirs of angels all sing along
It's late and I'm scared, so please, don't be long
I'm still not sure where I came from
Feeling low

Oh, I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's flowing
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms
That break the light up into colors
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time, I'll go and wait
Beside the legendary fountain
'Til I see your form reflected
In its clear and jeweled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our visions
Flow into one another

And I'll stay a while and wonder
At the mist that they've created
And lose myself within it
Mends my mind and body
And I know at that moment
As I stand in that cathedral
I will want to die beneath
The white cascading water

She may beg and she may plead
And she may argue with your logic
And mention all the things I'll lose
That really have no value
Though I doubt that she will ever
Come to understand my meaning
In the end, she'll surely know
I was not born to follow

I know what I know
And what I know
Is I know nothing
Without you

I know what I see
And what I see
Is I see nothing
Without you

Alone I am
With waiting heart
Alone I am
A world apart

I know what I have
And what I have
Is I have nothing
Without you

I know what I feel
And what I feel
Is I feel nothing
Without you

Alone I am
Unspoken words
Alone I am
Unseen, unheard

My heart is my heart
And it is my heart
That is hopeless
Without you

I love what I love
And what I love
Is I love all things
About you

Someone alone
Always dreams of
The perfect one
Someone in love

I know what I know
I see what I see
I love what I love
It's you that I love

One, two, three, four.

You, you blew my mind
You turned back time
You changed my tune
I looked in your eyes
Saw starry skies
The sun and moon

And you're a dreamer just like me
We don't need reality

We're in our own world (Our own little world)

Except you and me (Dee dee-dee dee, dee dee-dee, dee, dee dee-dee)

Open my eyes
And see your look back at me
So much information
When no words are spoken

I get so high
Just thinking of you
Feel just like a schoolboy
Forgetting my own name

How much do you fake
The person that you are?
How much do you fake?
It's terrifying
When you're around me
And death-defying
I'm terrified

You think I live my life
Never looking back, but
They're just myths they tell you
To take you to your ripe old age

But I've been alone
In a house so hollow
I never thought I'd meet you
Your perfect imperfections

How much do you fake
The person that you are?
How much do you fake?
It's terrifying
Your arms around me
And death-defying
I'm terrified

How much do you fake?
Terrifying
When you're around me
And death-defying
I'm terrified

Each day brings another new sunrise

One, two, three, four.

You, you blew my mind
You turned back time
