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

So much for the street lights

They're never gonna guide you home

No they're never gonna guide you home

Down at the steam boat show,

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
