Take the last train to Clarksville

You can be here by 4:30 'cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow
Oh no, no, no...
Oh no, no, no...

'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together 'til the morning brings my train
And I must go (hey!)
Oh no, no, no...

And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be here by 4:30 'cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow (hey!)
Oh no, no, no...
Oh no, no, no...

Take the last train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
I can't hear you in this noisy railroad station all alone
I'm feelin' low (hey!)
Oh no, no, no...
Oh no, no, no...
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be here by 4:30 'cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow (hey!)
Oh no, no, no...
Oh no, no, no...
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville...

Micky: The time ??? and talk about our song and you just may be the one.

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun
Someone to understand them
And you just may be the one

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take for granted
All the pleasures and the fun
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one

I saw when you walked by
The love light in your eyes
And I knew I must try
To win you more than as a friend
I'm starting near the end
And here I go again

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of the pleasures and the fun
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one
Someone to understand them
And you just may be the one

  • Singer Micky Dolenz
  • Songwriter Michael Nesmith

Micky: As you look into her eyes, you see the beauty within, and you know that she was the girl that I knew somewhere.

You tell me that you've never been this way before
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere
You're standing in the places and you're
Staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces
Of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere

I just can't put my finger on what it is
That says to me "Watch out, don't believe her"
I can't give any reasons girl
My thoughts are bound down in a whirl
I just can't think who in the world was that girl
I know I met her somewhere

Someway, somehow this same thing was done
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong

[break]

So goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again
My fingers are still burning from the last time
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That's as may be, I can't explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere

And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That's as may be, I can't explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere

Peter: Thank you!
Micky: Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. We'd like to carry it on right now with a song by our velvet-voice midget, the one that expresses how we feel tonight here at this beautiful auditorium. With flowers in our hair and flowers in our eyes, we'd like to say that it's beautiful to be here tonight. And as Mike is tuning his guitar, we have to tell you how beautiful we think this wonderful place is. It's so nice to be here in this night, being free, and helping and loving, bringing back to the days of yesteryear, when we were all free and happy in our carefree, loving world. This is called tuning... we're putting and album out of this pretty soon.
Peter: [in the background] We tune because we care.

If your love has to tie me
Don't try me
Say goodbye

I wanna be free
Don't say you love me
Say you like me
But when I need you beside me
Stay close enough
To guide me, confide in me
Whoa, whoa

I wanna hold your hand
Walk along the sand
Laughin' in the sun
Always havin' fun
Doin' all those things
Without any strings to tie me down

I wanna be free
Like the warm September wind, babe
Say you'll always be my friend, babe
We can make it through the end, babe
Again, babe, I've gotta say

I wanna hold your hand
Walk along the sand
Laughin' in the sun
Always havin' fun
Doin' all those things
Without any strings to tie me down

I wanna be free
Like the warm September wind, babe
Say you'll always be my friend, babe
We can make it through the end, babe

Mike: I'd like to do a song off of our latest album called Headquarters... Oh, you know it. It's called Scroungy Girlfriend.

Well she owns and operates her own Sunshine Factory (yep, do bop, yep)
Painting smiles on dolls and then on me (do bops)
She's my sunny girlfriend
And personality-ty-ty

Well she's got a book that tells about everybody's past (yes she does, it's a book and it tells you about everybody's past)
And she can make you slow while making your mind move fast (make you slow while making your mind move fast)
'Cause she's my sunny girlfriend
And she is never last

While I am sleeping
Then she comes creeping
Into my thoughts at night
Gazing down through eyes as red as thunder

Well she can send you on your way to everywhere (woo!)
And she's only started after you think that she is there
Well she's my sunny girlfriend
And she just doesn't care
Yes she's my sunny girlfriend
She doesn't really care

Micky: Thank you.

Micky: And now pretty Peter, the man with the gabardine voice...
Peter: What is that, "gabardine voice"?
Micky: Man with ray on acetate throat, hehehe... Auntie Grizelda.

She knows her mind all right, your Auntie Grizelda
She says she knows my kind, she might maybe so
Oh yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda
You only know the things she wants you to know

You look just like her you do
I know by lookin' at you
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda

You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda
So proper judging others over her tea

I know she's havin' a fit
She doesn't like me a bit
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda-a-a

[break]

Oh no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda
It takes much more to be someone of your own
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda
Or just like her you'll have to make it alone

I know she's havin' a fit
She doesn't like me a bit
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda-a-a

Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda...
Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda...
Grizzle da, grizzle da da, da da da...

She's in love with him, my friend
She's in love with him

Forget that girl, ah
She'll only bring you down again, ah
Forget that girl, ah
She'll only make you lonely
She's in love with him, my friend
She's in love with him

There was a time when she could really love you
When she was dreaming only of you
But now she's put herself above you
And there's nothing I can do

Forget that girl, ah
She'll only bring you down again, ah
Forget that girl, ah
She'll only make you lonely
She's in love with him, my friend
She's in love with him
Whoa yeah, she's in love with him, him...

Micky: And now, let us take you if we may, down south to Louisiana and the Cajun country, with the sock-it-to-me sound of Sweet Young Thing!

I know that something very strange is happening to my brain
I'm either feeling very good, or else I am insane
The seeds of doubt you planted have started to grow wild
And I feel that I must yield before the wisdom of a child

And it's love you bring
No that I can't deny
With your wings
I can learn to fly
Sweet young thing (sweet young thing, sweet young thing)

Whoa, people try to talk to me, their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts to try and bring me down
Turned on to the sunset like I've never been before
I listen for your footsteps and your knock upon the door (hey!)

And it's love you bring
No that I can't deny
With your wings
I can learn to fly
Sweet young thing (sweet young thing, sweet young thing...)

I know that something very strange is happening to my brain
I'm either feeling very good, or else I am insane
The seeds of doubt you planted have started to grow wild
And I feel that I must yield before the wisdom of a child

And it's love you bring
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things
When I see it in your eyes
Sweet young thing (sweet young thing, sweet young thing...)

To prove that my love is truly yours?

'Til I win your love again
And walk beside you
But until then

Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
Roll my pants up to my knees
Cross on Cripple Creek a-when I please

Goin' down to Cripple Creek to have some fun
Goin' down to Cripple Creek, I'm goin' on the run

You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

Oh can't you see?

Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond
You can't judge the right by lookin' at the wrong
You can't judge one by lookin' at the other
You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

Oh can't you see?
You misjudged me
I look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
Can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

You can't judge an apple by lookin' at the tree, baby

You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

Peter: Hey, listen, we're gonna play a game, and we're gonna... it's gonna be a big flash, because what it is is everybody's flashes their flash cues at the same time. And uh, that's a pretty big flash. If you like big flashes, you'll like this. If you don't, you're gonna hate it. The purpose, or one of the other ideas is so that everybody who forgot to bring a flash cue is gonna get a flash picture anyway, 'cause as soon as Micky comes out here, we're gonna go like "1, 2, flash" and that's when you -- hold it! -- that's when you do it. Later. When Micky gets out here and as soon as he changes his shirt and breathes a little oxygen and uh... I hear ya, for cryin' out loud! Ahhhhh!
Mike: Okay, ready now? Now remember, the flash is on three, okay? Here we go. Everybody ready? Okay, here we go! ONE, TWO FLASH!
Davy: Yaaaaaaay!

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else, but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Yes, I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
I'm a believer
I'm a believer...

Micky: Thank you! I can't see a thing!

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy hummin' 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 E.M.I. 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
There's talcum powder on the letter and 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 are naugh-ga-hyde
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 tryin' to tell her that I shortly have to... FREAK OUT!

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?

Psychedelic!

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?

She's a wonderful lady / Why don't you be like me?
And she's mine all mine / Why don't you stop and see?
And there doesn't seem a way / Why don't you hate who I hate?
That she won't come and lose my mind. / Kill who I kill to be free?

It's too easy humming songs / Why don't you cut your hair?
To a girl in yellow dress / Why don't you live up there?
It's been a long time since the party / Why don't you do what I do?
And the room is in a mess. / See what I feel when I care?

Peter: We want you to know, this has been the most unusual concert, we have you to thank for that.
Micky: Great set up, guys! Great set up!
Peter: Everything is absolutely running according to clock work... that is...
Micky: My drums are disintegrating!
Peter: That is if you have a three dollar clock...

Peter: We'd like to do a song for you now that was one of our singles. Uh, as apposed to one of our triples.
Davy: Okay, everybody, clap your hands, come on... Woo! Stamp your feet too, come on!... Are you ready?... One, two, one two three four!

I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppin' stone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppin' stone

When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
But now you're walkin' 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't have my name in your book of Who's Who

I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppin' stone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin'...

You're tryin' to make your mark in society
You're usin' all the tricks that you used on me
You're readin' all them high-fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin', girl, are causin' public scenes

I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppin' stone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppin' stone

One, two, one two three four!
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone...
No, not me
Oh babe, I'm not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone...

Thank you!
Good night!
Thank you!
Goodbye!
