Ditty Diego (War Chant)


(Jack Nicholson/Robert Rafelson)

Hey, hey we are the Monkees, you know we love to please
A manufactured image with no philosophies
We hope you like our story although there isn't one
That is to say there's many, that way there is more fun
You told us you like action and games of many kind
You like to dance we like to sing so let's all lose our minds
We know it doesn't matter 'cause what you came to see
Is what we'd love to give you, and give it 1,2,3
But it may come 3,2,1,2, or jump from 9 to 5
And when you see the end in sight the beginning may arrive
For those who look for meanings in form as they do fact
We might tell you one thing but we'd only take it back
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
You say we're manufactured, to that we all agree
So make your choice and we'll rejoice in never being free
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 --
