Karaoké Goin' Down The Monkees

Floatin' down the river with a saturated liver and I wish I could forgive her but I do believe she meant it

When she told me to forget it and I bet she will regret it when they find me in the mornin' wet and drowned

And the word gets 'round

I'm goin' down

I'm goin' down

Comin' up for air

It's pretty stuffy under there

I'd like to say I didn't care but I forgot to leave a note

And it's so hard to stay afloat

I'm soakin' wet without a boat

And I knew I shouldve taken off my shoes

It's front page news

Goin' down

Goin' down

Hey hey

Hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

I wish I had another drink

It wouldn't be so hard to sink

I should've taken time to think

Besides I got the picture straight

She must have had another date

I didn't need this extra weight

I wish that I could see the way to shore

I don't want no more

Goin' down

I'm goin' down

And now I see the life I led

I slept it all away in bed

I should've learned to swim instead and now it's really got me stumped

I can't believe why I jumped

I'd like to get my tummy pumped

I can't believe they drink this stuff in town

This dirty brown

Goin' down

Goin' down uh huh

I'm goin' down

Goin' down hey hey

Goin' down

Go-goin' down

Goin' down

Goin' down

Goin' down

Goin' down

And I wish I'd looked before I leaped

I didn't know it was so deep

Been down so far

I don't get wet

I haven't touched the bottom yet

This river scene is gettin' old

I'm hungry, sleepy wet and cold

She told me to forget it nice

I should have taken her advice

I only wanna go on home

I'd gladly leave that girl alone

What a way to spend the night

If I don't drown I'll die of fright

My pappy taught me how to float but I can't swim a single note

He threw me in to teach me how

I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow

And now I've floated way downstream

Know this has to be a dream

If I could find my way to shore

I'd never, never do this anymore

They give you three

I've been down nine and I'm goin' down just one more time

Goin' down

I'm go-goin' down

I'm goin' down hey hey

Goin' down

I'm goin' down hey hey hey

Goin' down hey hey hey hey huh

Back, back, back, huh back

Back, back, back huh

Goin' down

Goin' down

I'm goin' down home

I'm goin' back home

Back to my friends and back under the warm uh

And I can do with it too

I'm goin' home ah

Now the sky is gettin' light and everything will be alright

Think I finally got the knack

Just floatin' and lazin' on my back

I never really liked that town

I think I'll ride the river down

Just movin' slow and floatin' free

There's a river swingin' under me

Wavin' back to the folks on shore

I should've thought of this before

I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans and pick up on some swingin' scenes

I'm gonna know a better day

I'm goin' down groovin' all the way

Goin' down ah ah

I go-go-go down

I'm goin' down hah hah hah

Down in New Orleans

Hah hah hah back home

I'm go-goin' down hey hey

Hey hey and I'm goin' down

Hey hey hey hey

I'm go-go-go-goin' down

I'm goin' down home

Goin' down, go, go

Oh hey hey hey hey hey

Hey hey got to, got to, got to

Got to, got to, got to, got to

Got to, got to, got to, got to

Got to, got to, got to go

Go-goin'

Got to go, got to go back home

I'm goin' down, down, down

Down, down, down and I

Down, down, down, down

Down the river

Now I've gotta go gotta go, gotta go, gotta go

Down the river now

Yeah oh yeah yeah
