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—
