Daydream Believer Lyrics

Artist: The Monkees

Daydream Believer
The Monkees
Words and Music by John C. Stewart

- peak Billboard position #1 in 1967

Oh I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise, wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold and it stings

CHORUS
Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

You once thought of me as a white knight on a steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and ends
With a dollar one to spend
But how much baby do we really need?

Repeat CHORUS twice

Repeat CHORUS twice again.

------
Note:

Here is a little titbit
about the Monkey's DAYDREAM BELIEVER. There are two versions of
the same recording, the one is this above and another that includes a few
seconds of banter among the Monkeys before the song started.
Here it is...J for Davy Jones, N for Mike Nesmith (his mother
was the inventor of Liquid Paper BTW), D for Mikey Dolenz and
T for Peter Tork:

N: Seven-A
J: What number was that again?
N,D&T: SEVEN-A!!
J: OK, OK I mean don't get excited guys, just cause I'm a sure
winner!

Then into the song as above.

Comments/Interpretations
by Angelos on 5/27/2008 10:29pm Having grown up during the late sixties and seventies, I still recall all the love and meaning written into the words and the tunes. Now, it seems, music has taken a downward spiral and continues to displease many, expecially whose love of musical pleasure was both the words and those who performed it.

by tomroberts on 5/28/2008 4:05pm also, "without dollar one to spend" Otherwise, it makes no sense.
by satans _son on 9/2/2008 3:25am i was born in 1993 and these lyrics still me something to me and music has not taken a downward spiral it still has the same amout of meaning the meaning is just diffrent.
