So much for the city
Tell me that you'll dance to the end
Just tell me that you'll dance to the end
Hey, hey, you're The Monkees
People said, "You monkeyed around"
But nobody's listening now
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby please don't go
Baby, baby please don't go
So much for the street lights
They're never gonna guide you home
No, they're never gonna guide you home
Down at the steamboat show, yeah
All the kids start spittin'
I guess it didn't live up to the billing
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby please don't go
Baby, baby please don't go
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby please don't go
Baby, baby please don't go
