One of the most cold-hearted slut-shaming songs ever written, performed with disingenuous innocence by [the Monkees] on their November 1967 album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. It followed Nilsson’s original version on Pandemonium Shadow Show released in October 1967.
[Intro]
(Okay, Mr. Mix)
(Oh, beautiful!)
[Verse 1]
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train
That was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
[Verse 2]
You're not the only cherry delight
That was left in the night
And gave up without a fight, yeah
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy
[Bridge]
You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you that I'd love no other
You must've dreamed it in your sleep, bop, bop
[Verse 3]
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train
That was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
[Chorus]
La, la-la, la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la
Wah, wah, wah-wah-wah
La-la, la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la
[Bridge]
You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you that I'd love no other
You must've dreamed it in your sleep, zop, zop
[Verse 4]
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed (Ha!) by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train
That was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
[Chorus]
La, la-la, la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la
Wah, wah, wah-wah-wah
La-la, la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la
[Outro]
Ah, wah-wah, wah-wah, wah, wah, wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah, wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah, wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah-wah, ah-wah-wah
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah...
