The Hey, Hey, We're The Monkeys theme tune is one of those tunes that bring back a wave of nostalga to me every time I hear it.
A few years ago I went searching for it & other Monkees songs & have now got 12 of them on the computer & one song sung solo by Davey Jones at a later date which is called 'Girl'.
Cheers
Jon

Theme from The Monkees
By Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
Here we come, walkin' Down the street. We get the funniest looks from Ev'ry one we meet. Hey, hey, we're the Monkees And people say we monkey around. But we're too busy singing To put anybody down.
We go wherever we want to, do what we like to do We don't have time to get restless, There's always something new. Hey, hey, we're the Monkees And people say we monkey around. But we're too busy singing To put anybody down.
We're just tryin' to be friendly, Come and watch us sing and play, We're the young gneration, And we've got something to say.
Any time, Or anywhere, Just look over your shoulder Guess who'll be standing there
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees And people say we monkey around. But we're too busy singing To put anybody down.

extra verse:
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees, You never know where we'll be found. so you'd better get ready, We may be comin' to your town.

Heard on the news that Davy Jones has passed away.
He was such a little hottie in his day and bought so much pleasure to me as a teen, him and the rest of the Monkees.
