"Randy Scouse Git"

Day 15 of 31 Days of The Monkees:

I'm not going to tell you what a "randy scouse git" is; I'll just say that they changed the name to "Alternate Title" on the UK version, and you'll just have to look it up for yourself.

"The four kings of EMI" is, of course, referring to The Beatles who were signed to the EMI label at the time.

This song was written by Mickey Dolenz who sang lead and came out on the album "Headquarters". It has remained a favorite of mine.

Lyrics:

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
Aand there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess

The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
Talcum powder on the letter,
Aand the birthday boy is there

Why don't you cut your hair?!
Why don't you live up there?!
Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?!

Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats in Naugahyde
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
The being known as wonder girl is speaking I believe
It's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave

Why don't you be like me?!
Why don't you stop and see?!
Why don't you hate who I hate, kill who I kill to be free?!

Why don't you cut your hair?!
Why don't you live up there?!
Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?!

Why don't you be like me?!
Why don't you stop and see?!
Why don't you hate who I hate, kill who I kill to be free?!
